Question

Obaid wants to paint the ceiling of his restaurant. The ceiling is in the shape of a square. Its side lengths are 15 meters. Suppose each can of paint will cover 25 square meters. How many cans will he need to paint the ceiling? Cans

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ceiling is in the shape of a square. If Its side lengths are 15 meters, then the area of the ceiling would be determined by applying the formula for finding the area of a square. It is expressed as

Area = length ²

Area of ceiling = 15² = 225 m²

Since each can of paint will cover 25 square meters, then the number of cans of paint needed to paint the ceiling is

225/25 = 9 cans
