Answer:
a) Michiko needs to buy 18 tins of paint.
b) cost of paint would be $152.82
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of cuboid = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw
Length (l) = 2.4 m
Width (w) = 1.2 m
Height (h) = 0.6 m
SF = 2(2.4 × 1.2) + 2(2.4 × 0.6) + 2(0.6 × 1.2)
= 5.76 + 2.88 + 1.44
= 10.08 meter²
Paint coverage is 4.5 meter² per liter.
Total paint used in one coat =
= 2.24 liters
Paint used in double coats = 2.24 × 2 = 4.48 liters
a) Size of one tin paint = 250 ml
1 liters = 1000 ml
4.48 liters = 4.48 × 1000 = 4480 ml
Number of tins needed by Michiko =
= 17.92 ≈ 18 tins
b) Cost of one tin of metal paint = $8.49
∴ cost of 18 tins of paint = $152.82
a) Michiko needs to buy 18 tins of paint.
b) cost of paint would be $152.82
