Miranda painted the 4 walls of her rectangular room. Her room measures

14 feet long, 13 feet wide, and 9 feet high. She did not paint the window
in her room that measures 4 feet by 4.5 feet or the 2 doors that measure
3 feet by 8 feet. How many square feet of wall did Miranda paint?

Answer: I think it is 1572 sq feet

Explanation:

Lxwxh

14x13x9=1638

Window is 4x4.5=18

Door 1 is8x3=24

Door 2 8x3=24

Since the doors and window are not included in what was painted you need to subtract those totals from the room.

So, 1638-18=1620

1620-48(two doors)=1572 sq feet
