(0.7)(0.4)=0.28 because 7×4 is 28 and you just add a 0
We have to calculate the suface of the four walls and the ceiling.
Surface of the four walls=2(10 ft * 10ft ) + 2(12 ft * 10 ft)=200 ft² + 240 ft²=
=440 ft²
Surface of the ceiling=10 ft * 12 ft=120 ft²
Total surface=440 ft² + 120 ft²=560 ft²
Now, we have to caluclate the number of gallons of paint.
1 gallon------------------------400 ft²
x----------------------------------560 ft²
x=(1 gallon * 560 ft²) / 400 ft²=1.4 gallons.
answer: Ryan need to paint all four walls and the ceiling 1.4 gallons.
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- The<span> rectangular deck has the following dimensions: 12 ft by 14 ft.
- When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 ft</span>².
2. Therefore, you have:
A=bxh
288=(12x)(14x)
288=168x²
3. When you clear the x, you obtain:
x=√288/168
x=(2√21)/7≈1.31
