Answer:

Part A: 512 ft²

Part B: 3 cans

Explanation:

Part A:

We can divide the shape into 2 areas or rectangles.

The top rectangle's area: 20 x 12 =240

The bottom: 34 x 8 = 272

add these 2 up, 240 +272, and you get 512, the area of this figure.

Part B:

We have to divide the number of feet covered by the area:

512/200 = 2.56

However, we half to round up, cause we cant buy part of a can, we have to buy a whole one.

So, we get 3 cans.
