Answer:

324 ft^2

Explanation:

ok so to calculate the area its A = wl (width x length)

9 x 12 = 108 ft^2

buuuuuut since we have 3 walls were going to have to multiply it by three as cuz 108 ft^2 is the outcome of one wall

108 ft x 3 = 324 ft^2

Answer:

First we need to calculate the are of each wall, since we alredy knew the length (l) and the width (w) which is the height of the wall in this case:

A = wl = 9 . 12 = 108 (ft²)

We also know that he painted 3 walls, we need to multiply our first result by 3, in other words, the area of wall that Brett painted is the sum of the area of three walls: 108 . 3 = 324 (ft²)
