Amelia wants to paint three walls in her family room. Two walls are 26 feet long by 9 feet wide. The other wall is 18 feet long by 9 feet wide what is the total area of the walls that Amelia wants to paint?
Since Two walls are 26 feet by 9 feet that means you won't need to add all of them like that. Wall 1: 26 by 9 feet Wall 2: 26 by 9 feet Wall 3: 18 by 9 feet So in this case, you need to find the area so an easy way to do this is. (The '*' = X (multiply)) Wall 1 and 2: 26*9*2=? Wall 3: 18*9=? Then to finish it off all you would have to do it add The two numbers you got and end it with the measure. So remember when you write your answer put Ft after it!
