Answer :
Answer:
6 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
the total area to be painted :
= The total surface area - area of the floor
= area of the walls + area of the ceiling
area of the walls :
= [perimeter of the room] ×height
= [2 × (30+20)] × 12
= 1 200
area of the ceiling :
= length × width
= 30 × 20
= 600
the total area to be painted :
= 1200 + 600
= 1800
The number of gallon of paint needed to cover the room :
= 1800 ÷ 300
= 6
