    336 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The rectangle is 13 ft long and 8 width that means we have two walls 8 * 9 and two walls 13*9

    Total walls area is

    2*8*9 + 2*13*9 = 144 + 234 = 378 ft²

    then we subtrac, areas of door, closet and windows

    3 * 6.5 = 19,5 ft²

    3 * 6,5 = 19,5 ft²

    2 * 1,5 = 3 ft²

    42 ft²

    Then area to paint 378 - 42 = 336 ft²
