Without seeing the image, $area = length \times width$.

anonymous · Answer

the image is there @fewscrewsmissing

anonymous · Answer

Yes I know. But it's better you know how to calculate area than just get an answer. Since it's not volume, disregard height, and just focus on the length and width of the truck's tray.

anonymous · Answer

yes I got it @ ! its 109.140.75

anonymous · Answer

Oh actually my apologies, you also have to consider the height since she'll presumably be painting the walls of the tray too.

anonymous · Answer

so multiply all 3 ? Am I still correct ?

anonymous · Answer

Not quite. You have one section that's 57x83.25 in^2, two that are 23x83.25 in^2 and two that are 23x57 in^2.
