Amanda wants to paint the ceiling of her restaurant. The ceiling is in the shape of a square. Its side lengths are 39 feet. Suppose each can of paint will cover 169 square feet. How many cans will she need to paint the ceiling?

if da ceiling in a square that means it has four sides. If each side is 39 feet and there are four sides you would multiply 39 times 4 which equals 156. If one can of paint can cover 169 ft.² and the ceiling is only 156 ft.² then you would only need 1 CAN OF PAINT.
