Answer:
2.4 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
to answer this question :
we have to determine the width of the rectangle.
determine the area
determine the gallons needed
Pythagoras theorem would be used to determine the width of the wall
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse
60² + b² = 68²
3600 + b² = 4624
b = ²4624 - 3600 = 1024
√b = 32
Area of a rectangle = length x width
32 x 60 = 1920
Gallons needed = 1920 / 800 = 2.4 gallons
