A fuel storage tank consists of a cylinder with a radius 1.25m and length 7.20m, with hemispheres of radius 1.25m at each end. Determine the cost to cover the tank with 2 coats of paint. One can of paint costs $34.99 and covers an area of 29m2
\n" ); document.write( "===============\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*34.99 = $104.97 --- you can't buy part of a can of paint.
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "If 2 cans are needed for the 1st coat, then you have to buy 3 cans for it.
\n" ); document.write( "If you can't use part of a can for the 2nd coat, then you have to buy 3 cans for it.
\n" ); document.write( "---> a total of 6 cans.
\n" ); document.write( "6*$34.99 = 209.94
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
\n" ); document.write( "A poorly worded problem, IMO.
