Question 557251: One wall of a room is 8 feet by 10 feet, and a rectangular door 3 feet by 7 feet is to be cut in the wall. The remainder of the wall is to be wallpapered. There are three other walls in the room that are 8 feet by 10 feet and these are also to be wallpapered. What is the total area that is to be wallpapered?
Thank you Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Total area of all the walls less area of door = wallpaper area
Area of one wall = 8*10 = 80 sq.ft
area of 4 walls = 89*4 = 320 sq.ft
area of door = 7*3 =21 sq.ft
wallpaper area = 320-21= 299 sq. ft
