Answer:
244.92 ft² of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Height = 6 feet
Diameter = 1 foot ;
Radius, r = 1 / 2 = 0.5 feet
The surface area :
Using, Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)
Total surface area = 2π*0.5(0.5 + 6)
Total surface area = 3.14(6.5) = 20.41 ft² / post
For 12 posts :
Amount of paint :
20.41 * 12 = 244.92 ft²
