Answer:
<em>20 sq yd</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total amount of sq yd's of paint needed, you have to find the area.
The area of a triangle is: A = 1/2 bh
We know:
b = base = 8
h = height = 5
Plug in and solve:
A = 1/2 (8) (5)
A = 1/2 (40)
A = 20
Let 
be the measure of the angle in question. Its complement has measure 
. We're told that this angle is congruent to 1/3 of its complement, so that
perimeter =48
18+18+6+6=48
x-12=x/3
Multiply both sides by 3
3x-36=x
3x=x+36
2x=36
x=18
18-12=18/3
6=6
One side 18 another side 6
