Solar rooms are usually all glass, so I'll assume there are 3 walls of
glass and it says the roof is glass. What are the dimensions of each wall?
(1) wall parallel to house: 20' x 8'
(2) one of the end walls: 10' x 8'
(3) the other end wall: 10' x 8'
(3) the roof: 10' x 20'
Adding these up, the total glass area is

ft2
What is the area of each of the glass squares that the
room is made from?
ft2
pieces of glass needed
