2. The floor of a rectangular dining hall measures 15 m by 8 m and the height of the hall is 4 m. A contractor is hired to paint the four walls of the hall.

a) How many litres of paint is required to paint the four walls if one litre

of paint can cover 12 m2?

b) The paint is sold in 5-litre containers. Find the least number of containers of paint to be bought to paint the four walls completely.

Solution:

(a) Area of 4 walls [pic]

( 184 m2

(amount of paint required ( 184 ( 12

( [pic]

b) [pic]( [pic]

Hence, the least number of containers of paint to be bought is 4.

5. The diagram on the left shows the cross sectional view of an antique coin. The diameter of the coin is 4 cm and the dimensions of the square hollow in the middle is 1 cm by 1 cm. The thickness of each coin is 2 mm. 15 such coins are stacked together before they are tied together with strings as shown by the dark lines in the diagram on the right.

Find, in terms of (,

a) the volume of the stacked coins in cm3,

b) the total surface area of the stacked coins in cm2,

c) the minimum length of string needed (assume length of knot is negligible).
