Answer:

244.92 ft² of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height = 6 feet

Diameter = 1 foot ;

Radius, r = 1 / 2 = 0.5 feet

The surface area :

Using, Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)

Total surface area = 2π*0.5(0.5 + 6)

Total surface area = 3.14(6.5) = 20.41 ft² / post

For 12 posts :

Amount of paint :

20.41 * 12 = 244.92 ft²
