Given:
Length of the wall = 8 ft
Width of the wall = 6 ft
Length of the window = 2 ft
Width of the window = 18 in
To find:
The square feet Jamin planning to paint
Solution:
Area of the wall = length × width
= 8 × 6
Area of the wall = 48 ft²
Width of the window = 18 in
Convert inch to feet.
1 feet = 12 inch
18 inch = [tex]\frac{18}{12}=1.5[/tex] ft
Area of the window = length × width
= 2 × 1.5
Area of the window = 3 ft²
Area to be painted = Area of the wall - Area of the window
= 48 ft² - 3 ft²
= 45 ft²
Therefore Jamin planning to paint 45 ft².
