Question

Santigo wants to paint the lateral surface of the foam pit red.How many square feet of the foam pit will be painted red?

Answer 1

468 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface of the foam pit can be calculated as:

Lateral Surface = Perimeter Base x Height

So, the perimeter of the base can be calculated as:

Perimeter = 12 ft + 24 ft + 12 ft + 24 ft

Perimeter = 72 ft

Therefore, the lateral surface is equal to:

Lateral surface = 72 ft x 6.5 ft

Lateral surface = 468 ft²

Then, 468 square feet will be painted red.
