<span>The exact solution of cos (17</span>π<span>/6) is as follows:
First change the angle into degrees.
17(</span>π/6) (180°/π) = 510°
Then we calculate the cosine of the angle above and it as follows:
cos 510° = -(√3)/2
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Area of the front and back faces = 2 [ (8.1 x 8.1) + (1/2 x 8.1 x 2.1 ] = 148.23 in²
Area of the right and left faces = 2 [ 11.8 x 8.1 ] = 191.16 in²
Area of the top = 2 [4.6 x 11.8] = 108.56 in²
Total Area = 148.23 in² + 191.16 in² + 108.56 in² = 447.95 in²
Answer: Theo will need to paint about 447.95 in².
