Question

A community hall is shape of a cuboid. The hall is 40 m long, 15 m wide and 3 m high. The community hall needs re-decorating with new point for the walls and ceiling, and new tiles on the floor. A 10 litre tin of paint covers 25m*25m and costs £10. 1m*1m floor tiles cost £3 each. Work out the total cost of paint and tiles needed to re-decorate the community hall.

Answer 1

Total cost for tiles and paints is $924.
Explanation:
We have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. The hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.
The paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.
Let us find area of walls and ceiling.



Therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.
Given: Cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. Therefore,


Therefore, the total painting cost is $564.
Tiles will be required for floor. Let us find the area of floor.


Given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. So,

Therefore, the total cost for tiles is $360.
Now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

Therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
