Answer:
4 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using the formula for surface area of rectangular prism.
A=2(wl+hl+hw)
Where:
w = Width
h = Height
l = Length
The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 feet long, and 12 feet wide.
Hence,
=2 × (12 × 18 + 4 × 18 + 4 ×12)
=672 square feet
One gallon of paint covers 155 square feet.
Hence,
155 square feet = 1 gallon of paint
672 square feet = x
Cross Multiply
155 square feet × x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint
x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint/ 155 square feet
x = 4.335483871 gallons of paint
Therefore, based on the calculation above, approximately to the nearest whole number, Sierra uses 4 gallons of paint
You get imaginary roots for this equation.
x=4-5i
x=4+5i
