Question

Brayan is painting his living room wall, as

shown in the diagram below. How many
square feet of the wall does he need to
paint?

Answer 1

54 square feet

Explanation:

First get the area of both rectangles.

The bigger one is 8 by 9

8 times 9 is 72

the smaller one is 3 times 6 which is 18

Now you subtract both of them

72-18 = 54
