How many square feet in a closet that is 4.5' deep by 6' wide by 7 ' high?

Answer 1

There are:

4.5 ft × 6 ft = 27 sq ft on the floor and top of the closet;

4.5 ft × 9 ft = 40.5 sq ft on the two sides; and

6 ft × 9 ft = 54 sq ft on the front and back.

In total there is a surface area of 2 × 27 sq ft + 2 × 40.5 sq ft + 2 × 54 sq ft = 243 sq ft.

Answer 2

The closet has an area of 27 square feet. To calculate the area, you need to multiply the depth (4.5 feet) by the width (6 feet), which equals 27 square feet. The height does not affect the area of the closet.
