Question

Frans filing cabinet is 6 feet tall 1 1/3 feet wide and 3 feet deep. She plans to paint all sides except the bottom of the cabinet. Find the area of the sides she intends to paint

Answer 1

well you are look at a 3d image here
so if area is length times width then we need to find the area of every side of the cabinet and add it up
11/3 on the calculator is 3.66666667 sooooo....
top: 3 x 11/3 = 11
side 1: 3 x 6 = 18
side 2: 3 x 6 = 18
front: 6 x 11/3 = 22
back: 6 x 11/3 = 22
so we have all of our measurements:)
now we just add them up together.
11+18+18+22+22= 91!!
so Frans would have to paint 91 square inches of that cabinet:) hope i helped
