Q. Sue wants paint the following figure. How much paint will she need?
Calculate Dimensions: First, we need to know the dimensions of the figure to calculate the area that Sue needs to paint.
Calculate Rectangle Area: Assuming the figure is a rectangle and its dimensions are given as length =10 feet and width =5 feet.
Calculate Paint Coverage: Now, calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width.Area = length×widthArea = 10feet×5feetArea = 50square feet
Calculate Paint Needed: Next, we need to know how much paint is required per square foot. Let's say it's 1 gallon of paint for every 10 square feet.
Calculate Paint Needed: Next, we need to know how much paint is required per square foot. Let's say it's 1 gallon of paint for every 10 square feet.Calculate the amount of paint needed by dividing the total area by the coverage of the paint.Paint needed = Area / CoveragePaint needed = 50 square feet / (10 square feet per gallon)Paint needed = 5 gallons
