c)At $22.77 a gallon, what is the cost to paint the room?

* The area of the walls and the ceiling to be painted is?___________

Answer 1

L = 21 Ft
W = 11 Ft
h = 8 Ft.

a. A=2(W*h)+2(L*h)+(L*W)-2(3*4)-(2.5*6.5).
A=176 + 336 + 231-24-16.25=703 Ft^2 =
Area to be painted.

b. Gal = 703Ft^2 / 72.63Ft^2/gal = 9.7.

c. Cost = 22.77/gal * 9.7gal = $220.40.
