Betsy wants to paint the walls of a square closet. Her closet walls measure 10 feet long and 8 feet high. Each wall is the same length and height. How many square feet is Betsy painting?(Hint: She is painting all four walls.)320 ft^280 ft^2128 ft^2160 ft^2

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]A_{closet}=320\text{ square ft}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is represented by the following equation:

[tex]A=\text{ length}\cdot\text{height}[/tex]

Therefore, if the walls are 10 feet long and 8 feet high, and there are 4 walls:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{closet}=4\cdot(10\cdot8) \\ A_{closet}=320\text{ square ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]
