Question

Frans filing cabinet is 6 feet tall, 1 3/3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. She plans to paint all the sides except the got on of the cabinet. Find the area of all the sides.

Answer 1

52 square feet

Explanation:

We are given that

Length,l=6 feet

Width,b=
`1(1)/(3)=(4)/(3)` feet

Depth,h=3 feet

Area of all painted sides except bottom=
`lb+2(bh+hl)`

Using the formula

Area of all painted sides except bottom=
`6* (4)/(3)+2((4)/(3)* 3+3* 6)`

Area of all painted sides except bottom=
`8+2(4+18)`

Area of all painted sides except bottom=
`8+44`

Area of all painted sides except bottom=52 square feet
