<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Area of window = 3 ft²
Area to be painted = 45 ft²
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To get the area to be painted, we will start by getting the area of the whole wall (including the window), then subtract from it the area of the window
<u>1- getting area of whole wall:</u>
From the figure, we can note that the length and width of the wall are given as 6 ft and 8 ft
Area of whole wall = length * width
Area of whole wall = 6 * 8 = 48 ft²
<u>2- getting area of window:</u>
Again, from the figure, we can note that the length and width of the window are 2 ft and 18 in (which is equivalent to 1.5 ft)
Area of window = length * width
Area of window = 2 * 1.5 = 3 ft²
<u>3- getting area to be painted:</u>
Area to be painted = area of whole wall - area of window
Area to be painted = 48 - 3 = 45 ft²
Hope this helps :)
