If 1 gallon of paint covers 400 square feet, about how many gallons of paint are needed to paint the outside of a spherical tank of diameter 20 feet?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Surface area of a sphere = 4(pi)r^2
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "Surfact area = 4(pi)10^2 = 400pi sq ft.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "400pi/400 = pi gallons of paint or approximately 3.14159 gallons.
