The Exterior Surface Of A Farm Silo Needs To Be Painted If One Gallon Of Paint Covers 224 Square Feet What Is The Minimum Number Of Gallons Needed To Paint The class=

Sagot :

step 1

Find out the surface area of the figure

The surface area of the cylinder (without the base and the top)

[tex]SA=2\pi rh[/tex]

where

r=12 ft

h=50 ft

pi=3.14

substitute

SA=2(3.14)(12)(50)

SA=3,768 ft2

step 2

Find out the surface area of the hemisphere

SA=2pir^2 ------> surface area of hemisphere

we have

pi=3.14

r=12 ft

substitute

SA=2(3.14)(12^2)

SA=904.32 ft2

step 3

the total surface e area is

3,768+904.32=4,672.32 ft2

step 4

Find out the number of gallons

we have that

1 gallon -------> 224 ft2

so

applying proportion

4,672.32/224=20.85 gal

therefore

the answer is 21 gal option C
