Jess is painting a giant arrow on a playground. find the area of the giant arrow. if one can of paint covers 100 square feet, how many cans should jess buy?

answer as soon as possible.

First solve the area of the arrow, the arrow consist of a rectangle that has a dimensions of 10 ft x 18 ft. and the triangle has a base of 20 ft and the height is 6 ft.

A = xy + 0.5bh
where x and y are the dimensions of the rectangle
b is the base of the triangle
h is the height of the traingle

A = (10)(18) + 0.5(20)(6)
A = 240 sq ft

number can of paint = 240 sq ft ( 1 can / 100 sq ft)
=2.4 can of paint, since you cant purchase a fraction of the can then the he need to buy 3 cans of paint
