First find the area of each wall. This is length*width which would be 12*8.5=102. There are four walls in the room because it’s a square so that would be 102*4=408. So the total area you need to paint is 408ft one gallon will cover 75ft so 408/75=5.44 gallons of paint.
If it is 12ft wide and 8 feet 5 inches tall it would be 101 sqft per wall. 101 x 4 = 404 75 x 6 = 450 So it would be 6 gallons of paint. If it is 8 1/2 feet it would be the same amount of paint. 102 x 4 = 408 75 x 6 = 450 So 6 gallons of paint. Hope it helps!
