Greg built a toy box. The box is 3.8 feet long, 2.65 feet wide and 2.75 feet tall. How much paint will he need to cover the toy box?

To cover the toy box 35.475 sq ft paint is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length (l) of the toy box = 3.8 ft

Width (w) = 2.65 ft

Height (h) = 2.75 ft

To find the amount of paint is need we need to find the lateral surface area first.

Formula

Lateral surface of the box = 2 (l+w) * h

Now,

The surface area of the box = 2 (3.8+2.65) * 2.75 sq ft

= 35.475 sq ft
