Evan has a box for his garden tools that measures 2 yd by 1.5 yd by 0.75 yd. In order to paint the box, Evan said he needs enough paint to cover 2.25 cubic yards. His work is shown below. Is he correct? Why or why not?
V = lwh = 2(1.5)(0.75) = 2.25 yd3

No, he needs the surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are paining an object, we are looking for surface area, not volume.

He needs to find the surface area

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
