Answer:
Area = 145.7 Square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no picture attached to depict the house and its dimension, I am taking values of a similar problem.
Dimensions of Shed
2 walls with dimensions of 15 ½ ft. by 12 ft.
2 walls with dimensions of 25 ¼ ft. by 12 ft.
Ceiling with dimensions of 15 ½ ft. by 25 ¼ ft.
2 windows that are each 2 ft. by 4½ ft. as well as an 8-ft. by 5-ft. door
Solution
We need to find the total wall area and ceiling area which when combined will give us the total area shed's outer surface that needs to be painted.
For total area of the wall, we need to first find the sum of area for each wall and subtract area of windows and door
Wall Area = Area of 1st two walls+Area of other two walls-Area of 2 windows-Area of door=[15.5(12)(2)] + (25.25) (12) (2) - (2)(2) (4.5) -(8)(5)
Wall Area = 371 + 606 - 17 - 40
Wall Area = 920 square ft = 102.2 square yards
Ceiling Area is just the area of the ceiling
Ceiling Area = (15.5) (25.25 )
Ceiling Area = 391.375 square ft= 43.486 square yard
Total Area = Wall Area+Ceiling Area =102.2+43.486=145.7 Square yards
Which is the area paul needs to cover with paint.
Note: Converted Square foot to square yard as the problem requires that.
