Question

Area and Triangles:Question 2

Taylor wants to paint his rectangular deck that is 42 feet long and 28
feet wide. A gallon of paint covers about 350 square feet. How many
gallons of paint will Taylor need to cover the entire deck?

Answer 1

4 gallons

Explanation:

First find the area of the deck

A = l*w

42 * 28 =1176 ft^2

Divide the area by 350 ft^2 per gallon

1176/350 =3.36

We need to buy full gallons so we round up

4 gallons
