Question

3 in. 36 in. Front 3 in. 318 in.² The trim (shaded area) around the edge of a trunk needs to be painted. If the trim is painted all the way around, what is the surface area to be painted? (1 point) O5, 216 in.2 1,400 in. 636 in.² 25 in. 2 28 in. X​

Answer 1

The surface area to be painted is 2160 in.² To find the surface area to be painted, calculate the perimeter of the trunk and multiply it by the width of the trim.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area to be painted, we need to calculate the perimeter of the trunk and multiply it by the width of the trim.

Perimeter of the trunk = 2(front + back) + 2(sides) = 2(36 in. + 318 in.) + 2(3 in. + 3 in.) = 2(354 in.) + 2(6 in.) = 708 in. + 12 in. = 720 in.

Surface area to be painted = Perimeter × Width = 720 in. × 3 in. = 2160 in.²
