    Answer:

    39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Volume of a cylinder:

    The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:

    V = \pi r^2h = 3.14r^2h

    How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts?

    This is the combined volume of these 10 fenceposts.

    They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot.

    Radius is half the diameter, so r = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5. Also h = 5

    10 fenceposts:

    Each has the same volume, so:

    V = 10(3.14)r^2h = 31.4(0.5)^2(5) = 39.25

    39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
