There are 4 walls in the room that need to be papered. Without considering the door and the window, what is the total wall-area of the room?

 

[Claire80]

I have no idea on the dimensions etc. No idea at all. I'm trying to figure that out. I figured out calculating dimensions of the wall minus the windows and doors but how do I turn these into numbers. It's threw me .

 

[Steven G]

First find the areas of the 4 walls.

What would be the dimensions of the 4 walls if the room was 8ft heigh, 5 feet wide and 6 ft long? Draw the picture! Look at the walls in the room you are minnow.

So L*m*h =1hlm

You appear to be saying that you do not know the difference between room volume (measured in cubic meters) and wall area (measured in square meters).
