Ralph is painting the barn below, including the sides and roof. he wants to know how much paint to purchase.

a.
what is the total surface area that he is going to be painting? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
b.
if one paint can covers 57 square feet, how many paint cans should he purchase?
c.
if each paint can costs $23.50, how much will the paint cost?
d.
once the barn is finished being painted, there is going to be a party. ralph wants to know how many people to invite to the party. what is the volume of the inside of the barn?

PART A

The barn is constructed by the following 2D shapes

Two triangles of height = 4' and base = 20'
Area = 2 × (0.5×4×20) = 80

Two rectangles of length = 20' and width = 15'
Area = 2 × 20 × 15 = 600

Two rectangles of length = 45' and width = 15'
Area = 2 × 45' × 15' = 1350

One base of length = 45' and width = 15'
Area = 45 × 15 = 675

Two rectangles on each on one side of the roof. We have the length = 45'  but not the width. We can work out the width by using Pythagoras theorem

w² = 4² + 10²
w² = 16 + 100
w² = 116
w = √116 = 10.77

Area of the two rectangles on the roof part is = 2 ×10.77 × 45 = 969.33

Total area to paint = 969.33+675+1350+600+80 = 3674.33 ≈ 3700 (to the nearest hundreth)

PART B

Numbers of paint cans needed = 3700 ÷ 57 = 64.9 ≈ 65 cans

PART C

Total cost of paint = 65 × 23.50 = $1527.50

PART D

The barn is constructed by a cuboid and a rectangular prism

V of cuboid = length × width × height
V of cuboid = 20 × 45 × 15
V of cuboid = 13500

V of triangular prism = Area of cross section × depth
V = [0.5×4×20] × 45
V = 1800

Total volume = 1800 + 13500 = 15300

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
