Question

A rectangle room measures 13 feet by 15 feet. The ceiling fan is 8 feet high. Find the total area of all 4 walls that will need to be painted.

448 ft
224 ft
560 ft
336 ft

Answer 1

448 ft^2

Explanation:

The area of the walls is the perimeter of the room multiplied by the height.

P = 2(L + W)

P = 2(13 ft + 15 ft)

P = 2(28 ft)

P = 56 ft

A = perimeter * height

A = 56 ft * 8 ft

A = 448 ft^2
