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

Respuesta :

Find the area of the rectangular prism minus the area of the bottom of the cabinet.

A = 2(wl+hl+hw) - (lw)

A= 2(4/3*3+ 6*3+6*4/3) - (3*4/3)

A = 59.994- (4)

A = 55.994 ft squared


Answer:

The Area of sides she intend to paint is 52 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height of cabinet = 6 feet

           Width of Cabinet =  [tex]1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\:feet[/tex]

           Height of cabinet = 3 feet

To find: Surface area of side she intend to paint

Area of side she intend to paint = Area of side 4 walls + Area of top

                                                     = Curved surface area of cuboid

                                                           + area of rectangle

                                                      = 2 × height × ( length + width )

                                                         + length × width

                                                      = [tex]2\times3\times(6+\frac{4}{3})+6\times\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

                                                      = [tex]6\times(\frac{18+4}{3})+2\times4[/tex]

                                                      = [tex]2\times22+8[/tex]

                                                      = 44+8

                                                      = 52 feet²

Therefore, The Area of sides she intend to paint is 52 feet²
