Question

The wall in is to be painted. If one can of paint covers 110 square feet, how many cans of paint will be needed if only one coat of paint is applied?

  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 6

The correct answer is: 4


    4 cans.
    We know that area of trapezoid = ½ x (sum of parallel sides) x distance between them.
    =>  area = ½ x(18 + 22) x 23 = 460 sq ft.

    Area of doorway = area of a rectangle.
    =>  area = 3 x 7 = 21 sq ft.

    Area of wall without the doorway = 460 – 21 = 439 sq ft.

    1 can of paint covers 110 sq ft.
    Number of can required to cover 439 sq ft = 439/110 = 3.99 = 4 cans.
    Since number of cans can be only whole integers, we’ll need 4 cans.

    Identify the shape that will be angled cross-section of a rectangular pyramid.

    The plane cuts the pyramid at an angle which is not parallel to the base of the cone, this is the reason why we are getting a rectangle but with a length : breadth ratio different than that of the base.

    Name the shape that would result from slicing a rectangular pyramid parallel to the base

    Since the pyramid is rectangular, this means that the base of the pyramid is a rectangle. Therefore, if we slice it parallel to the base, we’ll get a cross section which will look like the base of the pyramid, i.e., a rectangle.
