A cylindrical storage tank has a depth of 5 ft and a radius measuring 3 ft. The tank needs to be painted. If 1 pint of paint covers 50 ft2 and you can only purchase full pints of paint, how many pints must be purchased to paint the exterior of the storage tank? (Use your calculator value of . Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

4 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to figure this one out we need the surface area of the cylinder

The formula is :  SA=2πrh+2πr^2

Don't worry about memorizing most of these formula's except the basic ones  for Surface area and Volume in a test the formula's will be given but I do recommend practicing them

Any way lets keep going

Depth of 5ft basically means 5ft in height (to let you know)

2*pi*3*5+2*pi*3^2

SA=150.796447372 ft^2  rounded is basically 151

any way we know one pint paints 50 ft^2

so  151/50 is 3 remainder 1 so you will need 4 pints except you will barley use 1 pint
