You must show how you get your answer.
Total marks: 5

£186.89

Step-by-step explanation:

-The area of the trapezium can be calculated as follows:

-Given that 1 litre of paint covers an area of 1.9 sq m, we divide the area of the trapezium by this and multiply by the price per liter to get total cost:

-We are given that each 5l  tin of paint costs £16.99 . We therefore divide the paint used by 5 and multiply by £16.99:

Hence, it will cost £186.89 to buy all the paint

*Paint is only bought in 5l tins. Hence, any fractional bit will necessitate the purchase of the whole 5l tin
