Answer 1

Answer:

5 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

to start you need to find the total area the side of the roof he plans to cover which is 360 feet.

16x2 + 20x2 = 72

so lets just say thats the total area of one solar panel then you could just divide 360 feet by 72 feet to get...

5. so i guess william needs 5 solar panels

i could be spouting nonsense rn.. so sorry if im wrong
