Provide an explanation and proof for your answer to receive full credit.

Ellis needs 259.17 square feet of paint.

Each fence post has a cylindrical format.

Ellis paints the outside of each post, which means that the surface area of each cylinder has to be found.

She paints 11 fence posts, so the total amount of paint needed is the surface area of the 11 fence posts.

Surface area of a cylinder:

The surface area of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:
