Answer:

6

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

We need to find the total surface area of the building a skateboard ramp without its bottom.

  • The Area of the slope: 10.5*25 = 262.5
    ft^(2)
  • The Area of the two triangles: 2 (
    (1)/(2) 7*24) = 168
    ft^(2)
  • The Area of the back: 10.5*7 = 73.5
    ft^(2)

So the total surface area is: 262.5 + 168 +73.5 = 504
ft^(2)

Hence, the number quarts of paint will mario needs to buy is:

504/85 ≈ 6

Hope it will find you well
