There is a room 12' 6" x 15' 3" and the walls are 8' 9" high. How many square feet of surface will you have to paint?
-----------------------
12' 6" = 12.5'
15' 3" = 15.25'
8' 9" = 8.75'
----------------------
Area = 2(12.5*8.75 + 15.25*8.75) + 12.5*15.25
Area = 2(8.75)(12.5+15.25) + 12.5*15.25
Area = 676.25 sq. ft.
