Final answer:

The area to be painted is 448 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area to be painted, we need to find the area of the walls excluding the windows and doors. The dimensions of the walls can be calculated as follows:

  1. Length of one wall = Length of the floor = 20 feet
  2. Length of the other wall = Width of the floor = 12 feet
  3. Height of the walls = 7 feet

Using these dimensions, we can calculate the total area of the walls:
Area of one wall = Length x Height = 20 feet x 7 feet = 140 square feet
Area of the other wall = Width x Height = 12 feet x 7 feet = 84 square feet
Total area of the walls = 2 x (140 square feet + 84 square feet) = 448 square feet
