Asked by Wyatt

Aubrey is painting a mural of an ocean scene. The triangular sail on a sailboat has a base of 4 feet and a height of 6 feet. Aubrey will paint the sail using a special white paint. A can of this paint covers 10 square feet. How many cans of white paint will Aubrey need?
Answered by Ms. Sue
A = 1/2 * b * h

Divide the area by 10 to find the number of cans. Round up to the next whole number.
Answered by Antonia
2 cans or 1 1/5 cans. Hope this will help!

Basically first you multiply 6 with 4 and you get 24. Than you divide 24 by 2 and you get 12. After that, you divide 12 by 10 and get 1.5. Aubrey can’t 1.5 because she can’t get a half can of white paint so she has to get 2. Hopefully this helped, thanks for stoping by and check this answer out!
