The perimeter of the floor is
The area of the walls is
Part 2) If a gallon of paint covers 350 sq. ft., How many gallons will you have to buy?

so
You will have to buy 3 gallons

To find the cost multiply the number of gallons by $25 per gallon
so
Part 5) What is the area of the floor?
The area of the floor (rectangle ) is equal to multiply the length of the floor by the width of the floor
Part 6) What is the cost to redo the floor in oak?
