document.write( "Question 935018: I guess I am not completely understanding this problem, but the question is you are painting a monument, a rectangular prism. The height and width is given to me (width = 30) (height = 40) and the question asks for the amount of paint needed to pain the sides of the monument, in square feet. So do I just solve for the area of the rectangular prism? The question does not provide any more details than that. \n" ); document.write( "
