Answer: 615 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 walls - assume that the floor and ceiling are not being painted.
2 walls are 17 ft by 9 ft ⇒ 2(17)(9) = 306 ft²
The other 2 walls are 18 ft by 9 ft ⇒ 2(18)(9) = 324 ft²
1 window is 3.75 ft by 4 ft ⇒ 1(3.75)(4) = 15 ft²
2 walls + other 2 walls - 1 window ⇒ 306 + 324 - 15 = 615 ft²
Answer:
The total area that must be paintedis 615ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we need to calculate the total surface of the room that will be painted, this would be:
The 4 inner walls.
Minus the area of the window, that will not be painted.
I also assume that the floor and the ceiling will not be painted.
the dimensions of the room are:
17 feet long.
18 feet wide.
9 feet high.
So we will have:
two walls of 17 feet by 9 feet.
two walls of 18 feet by 9 feet.
Then the total surface of the walls is:
S = 2*(17ft*9ft) + 2*(18ft*9ft) = 630 ft^2
And the window is 3 feet 9 inches bt 4 feet.
first, we have that 1 feet = 12 inches.
then 9 inches is equivalent to:
9/12 feet = 0.75 feet.
So the area of the window is:
W = 3.75ft*4ft = 15ft^2
the difference is:
A = 630ft^2 - 15ft^2 = 615ft^2
