V225 = vāx where a + b and where a and b are whole numbers.
Find a possible pair of values for a and b.

it would be a on edgenuit y

the diagram below is your final answer

the bolded word " farsighted" could be replaced with visionary.

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.

answer is b
