[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many cans of white paint Aubrey will need, we first need to calculate the area of the triangular sail.

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is:
Area = (base x height) / 2

In this case, the base of the sail is 4 feet, and the height is 6 feet. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (4 x 6) / 2
Area = 24 / 2
Area = 12 square feet

Now, we know that one can of white paint covers 10 square feet. To determine how many cans of paint Aubrey needs, we divide the total area of the sail by the coverage of one can:
Number of cans = Total area / Coverage per can

Number of cans = 12 square feet / 10 square feet

Number of cans = 1.2 cans

Since we can't have a fraction of a can, Aubrey will need to round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, Aubrey will need 2 cans of white paint to paint the sail.
