Answer:
Isha needs 60 gallons of paints to the wall.
Explanation:
The area of trapezoid shaped like wall is given by :-
Area of trapezoid = 1/2 × ( Base ¹ + Base ² ) × H
Where,
B ¹ and B ² are the length of bases and H is the perpendicular distance between them.
Area of wall = 1/2 × ( Base¹ + Base²) × Height
Where, according to question we have
- Base ¹ = 5 t
- Base ² = 15 ft
- And , Height = 6 ft
substitute the values
Area = 1/2 × ( 5 ft + 15 ft ) × 6 ft
add the values of Base¹ and Base ²
Area = 1/2 × 20 ft × 6 ft
multiply
Area = 1 / 2 × 120 ft ²
divide
Area = 120 ft ² / 2 = 60 ft ²
It takes 1 gallon to cover 1 ft ². ... ( given)
So, For covering 60 ft ² it takes 60 gallons .
check
( 1 × 60 ) gallon = 60 ft ²
60 gallon = 60 ft²
