Answer:
Area of the cabinet to be painted = 56 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The cabinet is shown in the diagram. To find the surface area of the cabinet we will find the surface area of the rectangular cuboid.
Surface Area= 2 lb+ 2hb + 2lh
where l = length , b= breadth and h= height.
From the figure we see that the area of the bottom is given by length * breadth so deducting this from the total surface area of the cuboid gives the surface of the cabinet.
Area of the cabinet to be painted= lb+ 2hb + 2lh
Putting the values we get
Area of the cabinet to be painted = lb+ 2hb + 2lh
= 3* 1 1/3 + 2( 6 * 1 1/3) + 2( 3* 6)
= 3* 4/3 + 2( 6 * 4/3) + 2( 3* 6)
= 4+ 2(8) +2(18)
= 4+16+ 36
56 ft²
This is the outside area of the cabinet which is found front,back, top and two sides that need to be painted.
