Practicing Success
A hall of 10 m length, 5 m width and 6 m height is to be painted (one side only). Determine the total surface area to be painted. (neglect the area of windows and doors)(floor area is NOT to be painted) |
300 m2 280 m2 330 m2 230 m2 |
230 m2 |
We know that, Area of four walls = 2(l + b) × h Area of roof = l × b We have, Length = 10 m Width = 5 m Height = 6 m Area of four walls = 2 (10 + 5) × 6 = 2 × 15 × 6 = 180 m2 Area of roof = 10 × 5 = 50 m2 = Total surface area to be painted = 180 + 50 = 230 m2 |
