5. Core Lesson Katy is painting the walls of her bedroom, shown below. Katy will not paint the floor, the ceiling, or the door. Katy’s door is 3 feet x 8 feet. If one quart of paint covers 100 square feet, how many quarts will Katy need to purchase? SA = 2 (Sm. Wall) + 2 (Lg. Wall) - Door 12 feet 8 feet 10 feet = 2 (L W) + 2 (L W) - (L W) = 2 (8 10) + 2 (12 10) - (3 8) = 2 (80) + 2 (120) - (24) = 160 + 240 - 24 There are 376 square feet of wall that need to be covered, so Katy must purchase 4 quarts of paint.
