How many square feet of the den will he cover with wallpaper? Explain in words how you found your answer. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The facing walls will have the same area.
This is always true if the room has a rectangular
floor plan.
-----------
The area of a wall is found by ( height of wall ) x ( length of wall )
One pair of facing walls measure: ft2
So, the area of these 2 walls is ft2
The other pair of facing walls mwasure: ft2
So, the area of these 2 walls is ft2
Adding up the 4 walls: ft2
400 square feet of the den will be covered with wallpaper
