Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!! Evan is painting a stool that has a cylindrical seat and four rectangular prism legs. The seat has a diameter of fourteen inches and a height of 4 inches. Each leg is 4 inches by 4 inches by eighteen inches. How much area will Evan have to paint? Use three point one four for pi. Show your work.

Answer 1

keep in mind that \(\bf \textit{Area of a cylinder}=2\pi r(h+r)\)

as far as the legs, notice that each leg is just 6 rectangles stacked up to each other at the corners

the bottom and top of the leg is a 4x4 rectangle
the sides of each leg is 4 sides, of 8 x 4
