Answer 8

Answer 9

height = 9
width = 10
length = 11ft 3in which is 11.25in
you would find the area for each wall and add then together.
SurfaceArea = \[(9\times10) + (9\times10) +(9\times11.25) + (9\times11.25)\]
then subtract the area of the window and door and you have the answer for number 1

Answer 10

Answer 13

Okay, so look at the room you are in. look in the corner. That corner is lets say 10ft high. That would be your height. now if you want to find the area of one wall. You would measure the floor from one corner to the other corner next to the wall. you would use that measurement of the wall as the length and the 10ft high corner as the height. the height in math is also referred to as width under certain circumstances. its confusing at times. Did this help?
