Lizzie and her wife need to paint the walls of their bedroom the room is 12 feet by 14 feet and it has a ceiling that is 10 feet high what is the area that they need to paint

Answer 1

To find the area that Lizzie and her wife need to paint, we need to calculate the total surface area of the walls in the bedroom.

The bedroom has four walls: two that are 12 feet long and two that are 14 feet long. Since the walls have a height of 10 feet, the total surface area of the walls can be calculated as follows:

First wall: 12 feet (length) * 10 feet (height) = 120 square feet
Second wall: 12 feet (length) * 10 feet (height) = 120 square feet
Third wall: 14 feet (length) * 10 feet (height) = 140 square feet
Fourth wall: 14 feet (length) * 10 feet (height) = 140 square feet

Adding up the areas of all four walls, we get:

120 square feet + 120 square feet + 140 square feet + 140 square feet = 520 square feet

Therefore, Lizzie and her wife need to paint a total area of 520 square feet.
