Area of the front and back faces = 2 [ (8.1 x 8.1) + (1/2 x 8.1 x 2.1 ] = 148.23 in²
Area of the right and left faces = 2 [ 11.8 x 8.1 ] = 191.16 in²
Area of the top = 2 [4.6 x 11.8] = 108.56 in²
Total Area = 148.23 in² + 191.16 in² + 108.56 in² = 447.95 in²
Answer: Theo will need to paint about 447.95 in².
3(x-5)=1+(5x+2x)
3x-15=1+7x
-15=1+7x-3x
-15=1+4x
-15-1=1+4x-1
-16=4x
-16/4=4x/4
-4=x
76 -55= 21
76 is decreased by 21.
We initially start with 76, so now we have to divide 21 by 76:
21/76* 100%= 27.63%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the final answer is 27.6%~
