Question

Jasmine is painting a rectangular wall in her bedroom that has a base of 12 feet and a height of 8 feet. There is a square window on the wall with a side length of 3 feet. She has enough paint to cover 90 square feet. Does she have enough paint? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes, she has enough paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

base = 12 ft

height = 8 ft

window = 3 ft x 3 ft

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the wall

Area = base x height

Area = 12 x 8

Area = 96 ft²

2.- Calculate the are of the wall

Area = side x side

Area = 3 x 3

Area = 9 ft²

3.- Calculate the area that need to be painted

Area painted = Area of the wall - Area of the window

-Substitution

Area painted = 96 - 9

                      = 87 ft²

4.- Conclusion

She has enough paint to paint the wall (90 ft² > 87 ft²).
