18.66 quarts of paint is needed to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism</u></em>
Length = 20 feet
Width = 10 feet
Height = 5 feet
<em><u>Find the surface area of prism</u></em>
Where, "l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height
Thus surface area area of prism is 700 square feet
Given that,
One quart of water-resistant paint covers 75 square feet
Therefore,
1 quart paint = 75 square feet
x quart = 700 square feet
This forms a proportion
Thus 9.33 quarts of paint is needed to cover 700 square feet
How many quarts should you buy to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint
For two coats of paint we need = 9.33 + 9.33 = 18.66 quarts of paint
