Answer:
12 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the outside of the tank:
radio = half diameter = 4.5 ft.
base: [tex]A_{b} =\pi r^{2} =\pi (4.5)^{2} =20.25\pi[/tex]
Top: = base [tex]=20.25\pi[/tex]
cylinder: [tex]2\pi rh=2\pi (4.5)(16)=144\pi[/tex]
Total area to paint: [tex]144\pi +2(20.25\pi) =184.5\pi =579.6sq.ft.[/tex]
Number of cans of paint:
[tex]c=\frac{579.6}{50} =11.59=12[/tex]
Hope this helps
