Answer:
1400ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Room Dimension: 20 ft by 25 ft by 10 ft
Where Length = 20 ft
Width = 25 ft
Height = 10 ft
Required
Surface area of painted walls and ceiling
We'll assume that the room is rectangular in shape and all 4 sides are covered.
<em>This means that Mickey will paint 4 walls and 1 ceiling.</em>
The dimension of the 2 of the 4 walls is as follows;
20ft by 10ft, 25ft by 10ft,
Because opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, the dimension of the remaining 2 walls is: 20ft by 10ft, 25ft by 10ft
Calculating the area of the 4 walls;
The dimension of the ceiling is as follows:
20ft by 25ft
Calculating the area of the ceiling
So, the area Micky will cover = Area of 4 walls + Area of ceiling
Total Surface Area
Total Surface Area =
Hence, Micky will cover 1400ft²
