Question

How many square feet of paint will be needed to cover the shed, not including the roof?

Answer 1

Answer:

80 ft^2 of paint would be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not consider the roof, all we need do is to calculate the area of the shape without the roof side

So without the roof, we have 4 rectangles

we have 4 ft by 4 ft on both sides

Then 6 ft by 4 ft on the other two sides

mathematically, the area of a rectangle is the product of its sides

so, we have the total area as;

2(6 * 4) + 2(4 * 4)

= 2(24) + 2(16)

= 48 + 32

= 80 ft^2
