Question

Landmarks. A scale model of the block letter H in the Hollywood sign can be drawn by plotting the following points and connecting them: (0, 0), (13, 0), (13, 16), (26, 16), (26, 0), (39, 0), (39, 45), (26, 45), (26, 29), (13, 29), (13, 45), and (0, 45). The scale is 1 unit on the graph is equal to 1 foot on the actual sign. If a gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, how many gallons are needed to paint the front side of the letter H? Round to the nearest gallon.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 38 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Landmarks. A scale model of the block letter H in the Hollywood sign can be drawn by plotting the following points and connecting them: (0, 0), (13, 0), (13, 16), (26, 16), (26, 0), (39, 0), (39, 45), (26, 45), (26, 29), (13, 29), (13, 45), and (0, 45). The scale is 1 unit on the graph is equal to 1 foot on the actual sign. If a gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, how many gallons are needed to paint the front side of the letter H? Round to the nearest gallon.
From the textbook chapter Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities in Two Variables; Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
