The triangular sign has a base of 44cm and a height of 40cm.

Use these values in the formula for the area of a triangle.

[tex]A = \frac{1}2bh=\frac{1}2\times44\times40=880[/tex]

Thus one side of the sign is 880 cm².
Since both sides of the sign must be painted, you must paint 880×2 = 1760 cm² for an entire sign.

How many signs would 44,000 cm² be?
44,000 ÷ 1760 = 25 signs.

Thus one litre of paint covers 25 signs.
