Answer 1

3,120 square feettttttttt

Answer 2

Answer:

The wall area of the room is $3120ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I add a graph of the situation in order to explain the question.

In the graph we can see the drawing of the shop room.

I put the measures in the graph.

In order to calculate the wall area of the room, we are going to calculate the area of wall 1, wall 2, wall 3 and wall 4 and then sum between them.

Areas :

$Wall_{1}=(30ft).(12ft)=360ft^{2}$

$Wall_{2}=(100ft).(12ft)=1200ft^{2}$

$Wall_{3}=(30ft).(12ft)=360ft^{2}$

$Wall_{4}=(100ft).(12ft)=1200ft^{2}$

If we sum all the areas :

$Wall_{1}+Wall_{2}+Wall_{3}+Wall_{4}=360ft^{2}+1200ft^{2}+360ft^{2}+1200ft^{2}=3120ft^{2}$

We find that the wall area of the room is $3120ft^{2}$
