Question 620930: A canvas for a mural is the shape of a right triangle. Before the mural can be painted the canvas must be varnished. The base of the mural is 3 meters and the height of the mural is 7 meters. How many cans of varnish will you need if each can covers 10 square meters?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, there--
.
STEP I: Calculate the area of the mural.
.
The formula for the area of a triangle is where b is the base of the triangle and h is its height. Substitute the values you know into the formula to find the area.
.
.
The area is 10.5 square meters.
.
Since each can of varnish covers 10 square meters, you will need 2 cans of varnish.
.
Hope this helps!
