Question

You decide to update your bathroom. You are going to put new tile in your shower. Your shower has three rectangular walls that need tiled. One wall is 5 feet wide and 8 feet high. The other two walls are each 4 feet wide and 8 feet high. What is the total area that you will need to tile?

Answer 1

hello! :)

`\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{Area\:of\:a\:Rectangle:\:A=LW}}`

`\sf{A=8*5}`

`\sf{A=40~ft^2}`

`\rule{200}{2}`

`\sf{A=4*8}`

`\sf{A=32~ft^2}`

Now, add the areas:-

`\sf{A=40+32+32~(since~there~are~2~walls~with~this~area)}`

`\sf{A=72+32}`

`\sf{A=104}`

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
