You'll need to calculate the surface area to be painted.  The room has two ends, 2 sides and 1 ceiling.  The area of the ceiling is 18*20.  The area of the two ends of the room is 2(8*18).  The area of the two long walls is 2(8*20)

Add these areas together:  18*20 + 2*8*18 + 2*8*20, or 968.

That's 968 square feet.  Since each can contains enough paint for 400 square feet of coverage, divide 968 by 400:

968
----- = 2.42.  This means having to purchase 2.5              (gallons)
400              This answer is accurate to the nearest 0.5.

The area of a bulletin board is 55 ft2. The length is nine feet less than four times the width. Find the length and the width, i
galben [10]

Answer:

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let the

length = L

Width = W

Area = LW = 55

The length is nine feet less than four times the width

L = 4W - 9

W (4W - 9) = 55

4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0

4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0

4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0

(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0

W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0

W = 5 or  - 11/4

since the width cannot be negative, W = 5

LW = 55

L = 55/5

L = 11

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.
