Q.29) Estimate the galloon of paint base on the surface area given: A storage has an area of 100 sq. ft. ,
with a width dimension and wall height in 10 ft. All walls are in same height. Windows has 90 sq. ft
opening but to be filled. Door has a standard opening dimension. Calculate how many quarts of
gallon needed for 2 coatings? note: 1 gallon = 300 sq. ft
