PAINTING, PAPERING, PLASTERING, ETC.

143. Painting, papering, plastering, etc. are estimated by the square foot or square yard.

Roofing is generally estimated by the square, which consists of 100 square feet.

Shingles are estimated by the thousand. With shingles that average 4 inches in width and are laid

6 in. to the weather, 600 shingles cover a square.

MEASURES OF VOLUME.

144. A Volume is that which has length, breadth, and thickness. A volume is called a solid.

THE RECTANGULAR SOLID.

A Rectangular solid is a volume bounded by six rectangular faces.

A Cube is a volume bounded by six equal squares.

9

The Contents of a volume is the number of cubic units it contains. Thus, in the volume ABCDEF the contents is the number of small cubes it contains, which is equal to the number in the base A multiplied by the number of layers; hence the whole number of cubes, or the con

B

D

tents, equals the product of the length, breadth, and thickness. Hence the

RULE.

To find the contents of a rectangular volume, take the product of the length, breadth, and height.

145. A Cylinder is a round body with equal parallel circles for its bases, and having a uniform diameter.

The Altitude of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases.

The Convex Surface of a cylinder is the curved surface which bounds it.

If the convex surface of a cylinder be unfolded, it will form a rectangle whose length is the circumference of the base, and whose altitude is the height of the cylinder. Hence the

RULE.

To find the convex surface of a cylinder, multiply the circum ference of the base by the altitude.

To find the contents of a cylinder:

RULE.

To find the contents of a cylinder, multiply the area of the base by the altitude.
