Answer:

A) 22 cans required to paint

B) Including 13% tax, cost of painting = $633.93

Step-by-step explanation:

As we check the figure, we have a composite figure.

Cuboid on the base and a pyramid on the top of it.

To find the area to be painted, we have 4 rectangular faces of cuboid with dimensions 6m [tex]\times[/tex] 3m.

And 4 triangular faces of pyramid with Base = 6m and Height 5m.

So, total area to be painted = 4 rectangular faces + 4 triangular faces

Area of rectangle = Length [tex]\times[/tex] Width = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 18 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times Base \times Height =\frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times 5 = 15\ m^{2}[/tex]

Total area to be painted = 4 \times 18 + 4 \times 15 = 72 + 60 = 132 [tex]m^2[/tex]

A) Area painted by 1 can = 6 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Cans required to paint 132 [tex]m^2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{132}{6} = 22\ cans[/tex]

B)

Cost of 1 can = $25.50

Cost of 22 can = $25.50 [tex]\times[/tex] 22 = $561

Including tax of 13% = $561 + $561 [tex]\times \frac{13}{100}[/tex] = $561 + $72.93 = $633.93

So, the answers are:

A) 22 cans required to paint

B) Including 13% tax, cost of painting = $633.93
