Question

PLEASE HELP! A closet is shaped like a rectangular prism and is 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, and the ceiling is 9 feet high. The inside of the closet, except the floor, will be painted. What is the area that will be painted?

Answer 1

222 ft^2

Explanation:

l = 8

w = 3

h = 9

A = (lw) + (2 x lh) + (2 x wh)

A = (8 x 3) + (2 x 8x9) + (2 x 3x9)

A = 24 + (2 x 72) + (2 x 27)

A = 24 + 144 + 54

A = 222
