\n" ); document.write( "a room is in the shape of a rectangular prism. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given: \"L=4.52m+\", \"W=2.41m\" and \"h=2.96m\"
\n" ); document.write( "It has 2 windows and a door that have a combined area of \"5.52m%5E2\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, two walls have dimensions: \"2%2ALh+\", the other two \"2%2AWh+\", \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, the area to be painted is: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2ALh%2B2%2AWh\"..........now we need to deduct given area of 2 windows and a door
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2ALh%2B2%2AWh-+5.52m%5E2\" plug in given values
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A4.52m%2A2.96m%2B2%2A2.41m%2A2.96m-5.52m%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"26.7584m%5E2%2B14.2672m%5E2-5.52m%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"35.5056m%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your answer is same\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if textbook says \"30.53msq+\", that must be typo \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
