Question

(01.03)

Answer 1

The dimensions of the paint tray are:
W = 10 in
L = 12 in
D = 5 cm (1in / 2.54 cm) = 1.97 in

The total volume of the paint tray is:
Vt = WLD
Vt = (10)(12)(1.97) = 236.22 in3

Converting the volume of the paint to in3
Vp = 1 gal (231 in3 / 1gal) = 231 in3

Getting the difference,
236.22 in3 - 231in3 = 5.22 in3

Since the volume of tray is greater than the volume of the paint, the answer is:
The paint will not fill the tray by 5.22 in3.
