I'll assume one of the 24 feet figures is redundant.
\n" ); document.write( "24*18=432 ft^2 for the floor.
\n" ); document.write( "2(24*12)
\n" ); document.write( "2*288=576 ft^2 for the 2 larger walls.
\n" ); document.write( "2(18*12)
\n" ); document.write( "2*216=432 ft^2 for the 2 smaller walls.
\n" ); document.write( "432+576+432=1,440 ft^2 for the surface area.
\n" ); document.write( "1,440/450=3.2 gallons of paint is required.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
