attached to a rectangle to purchase the right amount of paint, he needs to know the area of the table top. He can only spend $10 on the paint which is enough to color cover 150 ft.² the surface area what is the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can builld?

Answer 1

First you asked for an area of the triangle using the equation 4×6÷2. Then you must subtract that from the 150 ft.² of paint to find the amount of paint used for the rectangle. Then divide that number by six to find X.
4×6÷2=12
150-12=138
138÷6=23
