Answer:
80 ft^2 of paint would be needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we do not consider the roof, all we need do is to calculate the area of the shape without the roof side
So without the roof, we have 4 rectangles
we have 4 ft by 4 ft on both sides
Then 6 ft by 4 ft on the other two sides
mathematically, the area of a rectangle is the product of its sides
so, we have the total area as;
2(6 * 4) + 2(4 * 4)
= 2(24) + 2(16)
= 48 + 32
= 80 ft^2
