Question

6. Monique is making an ottoman for her living room. She covers the top of the ottoman with fabric. How much surface would she need to stain, if she stains the sides of the ottoman (excluding the bottom)?

Answer 1

I believe she would need to stain 548 inches of the surface.

Excluding the top and bottom, you are left with two panels that are 10 by 7.4, and two panels that are10 by 20, so

10•7.4= 74•2 =148
10•20= 200•2 =400
148 + 400= 548

Please correct me if I am wrong, have a good day!
