carlos is planning to paint the walls in his living room. Two walls measure 22 feet by 9 feet and two walls measure 26 feet by 9 feet. what isbthe total wall area that will need to be painted ?
(22+22 + 26+26) * 9
To find the total wall area that needs to be painted in Carlos's living room, we need to calculate the area of each wall and then sum them up.
Let's start by calculating the area of the first two walls measuring 22 feet by 9 feet.
Area of the first wall = Length × Width = 22 feet × 9 feet = 198 square feet
Area of the second wall = Length × Width = 22 feet × 9 feet = 198 square feet
Now, let's calculate the area of the next two walls measuring 26 feet by 9 feet.
Area of the third wall = Length × Width = 26 feet × 9 feet = 234 square feet
Area of the fourth wall = Length × Width = 26 feet × 9 feet = 234 square feet
To find the total wall area, we add up the areas of all four walls.
Total wall area = Area of the first wall + Area of the second wall + Area of the third wall + Area of the fourth wall
Total wall area = 198 square feet + 198 square feet + 234 square feet + 234 square feet
Total wall area = 864 square feet
Therefore, Carlos will need to paint a total wall area of 864 square feet.
