Cara is painting her living room. The room measures 10.6 feet by 11.6 feet. The ceiling is 10 feet

high

If paint covers 400 square feet, per gallon, and costs $14.95 a gallon, how much will it cost to paint

Cara's room?

440 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given, the room is a rectangle with Length = 11.5 ft, width = 10.5 ft and height = 10ft. The total wall area can be calculated as the sum of the individual wall areas. The area of opposite walls can be said equal, therefore.

A = A1 + A2

A1 = (11.5 x 10) (2) since two opposite walls

A2 = (10.5 x 10) (2) since two opposite walls

Total = 440 sq ft.
