Question

The owner of the Texans football team wants to paint their red, white, and blue logo on the side of a building at their training facility. However, the existing paint, which would comprise the background for the logo, is beginning to deteriorate. The owner is considering re-painting the building with a special weatherproof paint prior to adding the logo. If the special background paint costs $1.25 per square foot, how much money will the owner have to spend on the paint for the background

Answer 1

$393.75

Explanation:

cost of special background paint = $1.25 per square foot

Area of background = area of triangle + area of rectangle

= 1/2 ( b*h) + L * B

= 1/2 ( 5 * 6 ) + 5 * 4 = 15 + 20 = 35 yd^2

Given that 1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2

35 yd^2 = ( 9 * 35 ) ft^2

Hence area of background = 315 ft^2

Cost = 315 * 1.25 = $393.75
