In general, a gallon of paint can cover 400 square feet. Muhanmmad needs to cover a 21 foot by 17 foot wall and a circular area with a 5 foot radius. How many gallons will he have to buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.1 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The wall measures;

21 foot by 17 foot

Thus, area of wall = 21 × 17 = 357 ft²

Circular area has a radius of 5 ft.

Thus;

Area of circle = πr² = π × 5² = 78.54 ft²

Total area covered = 357 + 78.54 = 435.54 ft² ≈ 436 ft²

A gallon of paint can cover 400 ft²

Thus gallons Muhammad would need = 436/400 = 1.09 gallons ≈ 1.1 gallons
