To calculate the area of the side walls of a rectangular bedroom with dimensions 12 feet by 14 feet and a ceiling height of 10 feet, you need to find the area of the two longer walls and the two shorter walls.
1. **Calculate the area of the longer walls (14 ft sides):**
- Each wall's area = height × width = 10 ft × 14 ft = 140 square feet.
- There are 2 longer walls: 140 sq ft × 2 = 280 square feet.
2. **Calculate the area of the shorter walls (12 ft sides):**
- Each wall's area = height × width = 10 ft × 12 ft = 120 square feet.
- There are 2 shorter walls: 120 sq ft × 2 = 240 square feet.
3. **Total wall area:**
- Total area = area of longer walls + area of shorter walls = 280 sq ft + 240 sq ft = 520 square feet.
So, the total area of the side walls to be painted is **520 square feet**.
