30 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST Alexis needs to paint the four exterior walls of a large rectangular barn. The length of the barn is 80 feet, the width is 50 feet, and the height is 30 feet. The paint costs $28 per gallon, and each gallon covers 420 square feet. What is the area of the barn Alexis needs to paint? ______________ Explain how you found your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will cost $532 to paint the barn

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of the barn's walls.

2 (length x height) + 2 (width x height)

=2 (80x30) + 2 (50x30)

=2 (2400) + 2(1500)

=4800+3000

=7800 ft^2

Now we can find the amount of gallons needed, then the total cost.

7800 ft^2/420 ft^2  

=18.57 gallons

=19 gallons  

19 gallons x $28

=$532

Answer:

520

Step-by-step explanation:

Area:

[tex]2(80*30) + 2(50*30) = 7800[/tex]

Price

[tex]\frac{7800}{420}*28 = 520[/tex]
