Step-by-step explanation:
I know there's a more surefire method of doing this problem but since this is multiple choice, you can use process of elimination to solve it.
The least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.
<h3>Least amount of money that should be budgeted</h3>
First step
Using Pythagorean theorem to find the surface area
Since POR is a right triangle
Hence:
PO=20
BR=12
OR=12
PR=√20²+12²
PR=400+144
PR=544
Area of PBC=1/2×24×√544
Area of PBC=12√544
Lateral surface area=4×12√544
Lateral surface area=48√544
Lateral surface area=1119.54²ft
Second step
Since regular paint is 2 coats 200 sq. ft per gallon
Hence:
Number of gallons=1119.54×2/200
Number of gallons= 11.2 gallons
11.2×35= 392
1119.54/80=13 gallons
13×100 =1300
Last step
Least amount=392+1300
Least amount= $1692
Therefore the least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.

It looks like the first 3 are because they all are blank x2.5 but the last one would be 8x2.5=20..
