A monument outside city hall has dimensions as shown in the figure below. If one gallon of paint can cover 202 ft^2 , how many gallons of paint must be bought in order to paint the monument? Assume that the base of the monument cannot be painted and that paint can be bought only by the gallon.

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.

step-by-step explanation:

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation

y=-2x+1500

step-by-step explanation:

+1500

2 over one
