To calculate the area of the side walls that need to be painted in the bedroom, we first need to determine the area of each of the four walls.
1. **Calculate the perimeter of the room**:
- The perimeter \( P \) is given by the formula:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]
The length is 14 feet and the width is 12 feet:
\[
P = 2 \times (14 + 12) = 2 \times 26 = 52 \text{ feet}
\]
2. **Calculate the area of the walls**:
- The area \( A \) of the side walls can be calculated as:
\[
A = \text{perimeter} \times \text{height}
\]
The height is 10 feet:
\[
A = 52 \times 10 = 520 \text{ square feet}
\]
Therefore, the area you need to paint is **520 square feet**.
