Consider the net of a triangular prism where each unit on the coordinate plane represents five feet. if a can of spray paint covers 25 square feet, how many cans of spray paint are needed to paint the outside of the prism blue? a) 5 cans b) 7 cans c) 10 cans d)14 cans

B) 7 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

First task is to determine how many square units we have.

With the rectangle spanning 2 units on the X-axis and 3 unites on the Y-axis, we know that it has an area of 6 square units.

The two triangle shapes sum up to one unit total, since a triangle's area is (base * height) / 2.  Both have a base of 1 unit, and a height of 1 unit... so  (1 * 1) / 2  = 1/2 for each triangle.  Together, they occupy 1 unit.

So, total is 7 square units. Let's imagine it as a 7-unit by 1-unit rectangle, it will be easier to calculate.  Each unit is 5 feet.  So, this rectangle measures 35 (7 * 5) feet long, by 5 (1 * 5) feet wide... for a total of 175 (35 * 5) sq feet.

Since a can of paint can cover 25 sq feet, he'll need 7 cans (175 / 25).
