Pit

The pit has the shape of a truncated pyramid with a rectangular base and is 0.8 m deep. The pit's length and width are the top 3 × 1.5 m bottom 1 m × 0.5 m. To paint one square meter of the pit, we use 0.6 l of green color. How many liters of paint are needed when we paint only the sides and bottom of the pit?

Correct answer:

V =  4.1 l

Step-by-step explanation:

x0=3 m y0=1.5 m  x=1 m y=0.5 m  h=0.8 m  h1=h2+((y0y)/2)2=0.82+((1.50.5)/2)20.9434 m h2=h2+((x0x)/2)2=0.82+((31)/2)21.2806 m  S1=x y=1 0.5=21=0.5 m2  S2=(x+x0) 2h1=(1+3) 20.94341.8868 m2 S3=(y+y0) 2h2=(0.5+1.5) 21.28061.2806 m2  S=S1+2 (S2+S3)=0.5+2 (1.8868+1.2806)6.8348 m2  V=0.6 S=0.6 6.8348=4.1 l

the process of the answer is not enough clear try to associate it well with the graph
