Step-by-step explanation:

height of fence post 5 ft

diameter of fence post = 1 ft radius = 0.5 ft

Total surface of the fence post = 2pir(r+h)

= 2* 3.14 *(5+0.5)

= 6.28 * 5.5

= 34.54 ft^2 / post

For 10

345.4 ft^2

How much paint /ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the surface area of 1 fence post.

The formula is

Area_ends = 2 pi r^2 for the ends.

Area_body = 2*pi*r * h

Givens

r = d/2          r is the radius ; d is the diameter

r = 1/2 foot

h = 10 feet

Solution

1 fence post

Area = ends + area body

Area =  2*3.14 * (1/2)^2 + 2 * pi * r * h

Area = 2*3.14* (1/2)^2 + 2 * 3.14 * 1/2 * 10

Area = 1.57 + 31.4

Area = 32,97 square feet.

10 fence posts

10*32.97 = 329.7 square feet

Answer

10 fence posts have 329.7 square feet in area.
