Explanation:
Area of one side of the shed
5*4=20
she painted 4 sides so 20*4 =80
Triangle that is part of the pyramid as the roof of the shed has a side of 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem,
![{5}^(2) - {2.5}^(2) =18.75](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/cw1fmf1p350t4gnhlse1hd29nw6q00uqbo.png)
we need to find the square root of 18.75 to find the height of the triangle which is
![√(18.75) = 4.330127019](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/21k44vkfw40c14ea9yp0l6lktsw4j3wa81.png)
that is the height
(base x height) /2 is the formula for a right triangle. there are 2 of these right triangles per side of the roof. so we need to multiply the numbers by 8
![(2.5 * 4.330127019)/(2) * 8](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/dz2nx6jkgtr2ij2h9vusna2s15x310lneg.png)
this number gives us 43.30127019
we can finally add that number to 80 to get the total surface area Zoe painted which is 123.3012702
