your data does not make a lot of sense
If the four walls are each 4 m long, where does the 5.5 m wide come in?
The way I interpret the question is that one pair of opposite walls are 4 m wide and the other pair of opposite walls are 5.5 m wide
so you would have
2(4x3) + 2(5.5x3) = 24 + 33 = 57 m^2
In your calculation you have completely ignored the fact that the room is 3 m high.
thanks. i was a bit confused of why there were 3 numbers that is why i ignored the 3m part.. Thanks! :D
Was that the way the question was worded in the textbook ???
yes it was. it also said ignore all doors and windows..
