Question 541707: Two cylindrical flower pots need to be painted. The flower pots are 1.5 ft in diameter and 2.5 ft high. A one litre can of paint covers 100 ft2. Will one can be enough to paint the two flower pots with two coats of paint?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The surface area of cylinder = 2pir(r+l)
Radius = 1.5 feet
Length = 2.5 feet
The surface area of cylinder = 2pi*1.5 (1.5+2.5)
S= 2 3.14 4 * 4
S= 100.54 sq. feet
You need 201.08 sq.ft to paint both pots
one can contains 100 sq.ft coverable paint
