Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The side is made up of two shapes, a rectangle and a triangle.
Area of the rectangle: 22.8 x 14.5 = 330.6
area of the triangle = (height = 26.5 - 14.5 = 12) 12 x 22.8 / 2 = 136.8
330.6 + 136.8 = 467.4
The total area that needs to be painted is 467.4 square feet
A gallon of paint costs $20 and covers 350 square feet.
The area that needs to be painted is more than 350 square feet, so we need two gallons of paint.
2 x 20 = $40 to paint the side once.
The cost of paint is $40
