Answer:
90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] of blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given diagram, the sides have the same dimensions and the shape of a triangle.
Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height
Given that, the base of each side = 6 cm, and the height = 10 cm.
Then,
Area of each side of the shape = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 6 x 10
= 30 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Since Leonard wish to paint only the 3 sides and not the bottom part of the shape, the amount of paint required can be determined as;
3 x area of each side = 3 x 30
= 90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Leonard would need 90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] of paint to paint the sides of the shape.
