Answer:

It doesn't say what to do with that 0.1 of a gallon. I would buy another gallon or dilute what I had so it came to exactly 9.1 gallons. In math, I suppose the answer is 9.

In reality it would be 10.

You have to choose.  What has been done with other questions like this.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 can covers 55 square feet.

h = 10

w1 = 10 feet

w2 = 10 feet

w3 = 15 feet

w4 = 15 feet

Total area = Area of wall 1 + wall 2 + wall 3 + wall 4

Total area = 10*10 + 10*10 + 10*15 + 10* 15

Total area = 100  + 100 + 150 + 150

Total area = 500  feet^2

1 gallon / 55 ft^2 = x / 500 ft^2          Cross multiply

55 * x = 500                                       Divide by 55

x = 500/55

x = 9.1 gallons.

In real life you would buy another gallon.

A solid rectangular metal box of length 8 inches, width 2 inches, and depth 4 inches is melted down. All of the liquid metal is
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is (8 in)(2 in)(4 in) = 64 in^3.

The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where s is the length of one side of the cube.

Setting V = s^3 = 64 in^3, we get s = 4 in.

The length of one side of the cube is 4 in.
