Question

Greg built a toy box. The box is 3.8 feet long , 2.65 feet wide and 2.75 feet tall. How much paint will he need to cover the toy box ?

Answer 1

To cover the toy box 35.475 sq ft paint is needed.

Explanation:

Given,

The length (l) of the toy box = 3.8 ft

Width (w) = 2.65 ft

Height (h) = 2.75 ft

To find the amount of paint is need we need to find the lateral surface area first.

Formula

Lateral surface of the box = 2(l+w)×h

Now,

The surface area of the box = 2(3.8+2.65)×2.75 sq ft

= 35.475 sq ft
