3.1 Ten years ago, John bought a rectangular prism-shaped ottoman and two matching
cubic-shaped ottomans'. He wants to refurbish each of them by having the side
surfaces (excluding the top and bottom) repainted. He will also employ an upholsterer”
to re-cover the top of each ottoman and to attach cylindrical-shaped legs to the base of
each ottoman. Each cubic-shaped ottoman will have 4 legs, while the rectangular
prism-shaped ottoman will have 6 legs.
