Answer 2

The given triangle has a base of 4 feet, and the height is 8 feet.

To find the amount of paint used we need to find the area of the triangle .

Area of triangle can be found by the formula

A=
`(1)/(2) .base . height`

Area of the triangle =
`(1)/(2) (4)(8) =16`

Area of triangle =
`16foot ^(2)`

It takes 0.2 quart of paint to cover 1 square foot

To cover 16 square foot amount of paint used = 16(0.2)= 3.2 quarts.

Alberto uses 3.2 quarts of paint.
