Find the number of gallons of paint needed to cover the sides of the building shown with two coats of paint if one gallon covers 350 square feet. disregard windows and doors (include them in the surface area to be painted). round to the nearest gallon

3 gallons of paint is required to paint the building.

The area to be painted is:

= 2× [Area of Rectangle with dimensions 20 ft.×10 ft.+Area of triangle with height 5 ft. and base 20 ft.+Area of rectangle with dimensions 24 ft. and 10 ft.]

=2×[20×10+(1/2)×5×20+24×10]

=2×[200+50+240]

=2×490

=980 square ft.

Hence, the area to be painted=980 square feet.

Now, amount of paint require to cover 350 square feet=1 gallon.

i.e. 1 square feet requires=1/350 gallon of paint.

⇒ 980 square feet requires=980/350=2.8 gallons of paint.

Hence, to the nearest gallon we could say that:

3 gallons of paint is required to paint the building.
