Solution Summary

We have the area of the square = a^2
Here the painting must be done to a total area containing 4 walls and the ceiling. Since the floor is rectangle, two walls will be of same area 120 by 9 square feet and remaining two will be of same area 96 by 9 square feet. Also the ceiling has an area equal to that of the floor, 120 by 96 square feet.
area of shaded portion = area of circle - area of square.
If r is the radius of the cylinder and h its height, then the volume of the cylinder.
Given that one cubic inch of a certain iron weighs 8 ounces.
