you must apply two coats of paint to the walls of the bathroom. the door and the window will not be painted. determine the total area to be painted (accurate to 5 decimals) and how many cans of paint will you need to purchase if one can covers 100 ft^2? you cannot purchase partial cans.

Question

you must apply two coats of paint to the walls of the bathroom. the door and the window will not be painted. determine the total area to be painted (accurate to 5 decimals) and how many cans of paint will you need to purchase if one can covers 100 ft^2? you cannot purchase partial cans.

Answer 1

the walls are 8 ft high, the door measures 84 in. x 36 in., and the window measures 24 in. x 36 in.

Answer 2

so, the walls are 8' high. How wide are they? Are they all 4 the same width? If not, can we assume the room is rectangular?

At any rate, you surely know that for a rectangle, the area is height x width.

So, add up the areas for all the walls, then subtract the areas of the door and window.

Answer 3

But how long and wide are the walls??

What about the areas taken up by the counter and the tub?

Answer 4

5 ft by 7ft.

Answer 5

Boy, you're not willing to put anything into this, are you?

so, the painted area is (converting the door and window to feet, rather than inches):

4(5*7) + 7*3 + 2*3 = 167 ft^2

So, how many cans will it take, at 100 ft^2 per can?

Answer 6

Ignore that post. It added the window and door, rather than subtracting them. Also, you started out by saying the walls were 8' high. What's the 5x7 foot stuff?

And we STILL don't know how wide the walls are!!!!

Answer 7

To determine the total area to be painted, you need to find the combined area of all the walls in the bathroom.

First, measure the dimensions of each wall. Let's say the dimensions of the first wall are height1 and width1, the second wall are height2 and width2, and so on until the nth wall.

The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length × Width

For each wall, calculate the area by multiplying its height by its width. Repeat this for all the walls in the bathroom.

Once you have the areas of all the walls, add them together to get the total area to be painted. Round the final answer to 5 decimal places to maintain accuracy.

Now that you know the total area to be painted, you can calculate the number of cans of paint needed.

Given that one can of paint covers 100 ft^2, divide the total area to be painted by the coverage area of one can:

Number of cans = Total area ÷ Coverage area per can

Since you cannot purchase partial cans, round up the result to the nearest whole number to determine how many cans of paint you need to purchase.

Remember to verify the units of measurements (e.g., feet, square feet) and convert them if necessary to ensure consistency throughout your calculations.
