  4. 4
    A garden shed is in the shape of a cuboid measuring 4 m by 3 m by 2.5 m, with a triangular prism roof on top. The roof has a triangular cross-section with base 3 m and height 1 m, and the shed is 4 m long.
    (a)
    Calculate the volume of the cuboid part of the shed.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Calculate the volume of the triangular prism roof.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The two sloped rectangular roof faces need to be painted. Each sloped face has length 4 m and width equal to the slant length of the triangular cross-section, found using Pythagoras' theorem with a horizontal half-base of 1.5 m and a vertical height of 1 m. One litre of paint covers 12 m². Calculate the minimum number of whole litres of paint needed to paint both sloped faces.
