Question #5: You decided to paint one of the walls in the dining room the color blue. The shape of the wall is shown below. One gallon of paint covers 50 square feet. The wall will need two coats of paint. How many gallons of paint will you need to buy? Total area of the wall:

Gallons of paint needed:

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal line from the top corner of the left wall to the right wall. Now you have a rectangle on the bottom 8’x10’ (80 square feet) and a triangle on the top with a height of 5’ and a base of 8’. 1/2 base times height =20. You need to paint 100 sq feet so you need 2 gallons.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
