Question

Help with math HW please:

A painted water tower is shown. What percent of the surface area of the water tower (not including the surface underneath the tower) is green? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The said tower is not shown.

But to find the percentage of the surface area that is green, since this excludes the surface area underneath the tower, we find the surface area of the total area subtract the surface area underneath the tower, calculate the surface area that is green, divide this last result by the surface are of the whole area that doesn't include underneath the tower, and multiply by 100. This is the percentage we are looking for.
