2. The wall is 14 x 8.
Multiply to get the area.
14 x 8 = 112
The window is 4 x 4.
Multiply to get the window's area.
4 x 4 = 16
The area doesn't include the window,
so subtract 16 from 112.
112 - 16 = 96 ft²
3. The yard is 20 x 14.
Multiply to get the area.
20 x 14 = 280
The flower garden is 5 x 9.
Multiply to get the area.
5 x 9 = 45
He only wants to put sod where
the garden isn't, so subtract 45 from 280.
280 - 45 = 235 yd²
4. The frame is 28 x 24.
Multiply to get the area.
28 x 24 = 672
The painting itself is 24 x 20.
Multiply to get the area.
24 x 20 = 480
Subtract 480 from 672.
672 - 480 = 192 in²
5. Find the dimensions of the
sections of wall to be painted,
and multiply the length by the
width for each wall, and add
them all together.
Hope this helps!
