Question 65551: The greenhouse roof has 1.5 times the surface area of the floor. I want to coat both the roof and floor with a clear-coat plastic sealer. The total square footage for both is 750 sq.ft. What is the square footage of the floor? Answer by 303795(602) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the floor area x. The roof area is one and a half times the floor area so the roof area is 1.5x. The total area will be x + 1.5x = 2.5x
2.5x = 750
x = 750/2.5
=300 square feet.
