In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

w = 8 ft

l = 15 ft

total area (paint) = ?

Step 02:

rectangle area

A = l * w

A1 = 15 ft * 8 ft = 120 ft²

circle area

A = π r²

half circle area

A = (π r²) / 2

A2 = (π * (4ft)²) / 2

A2 = 25.13 ft²

total area = A1 + A2 = 120 ft² + 25.13 ft² = 145.13 ft²

The answer is:

They will used 145.13ft² of paint.
