Every wall needs two measurements ... the length of the wall and the height of the wall.

In a typical room, the walls all have the same height, but their lengths may be different.

The area of each wall is (length) multiplied by (height).

After you "do" the area of each individual wall, you can add up the four numbers.

The sum tells you how much paint or wall-paper you'll need to cover the walls.

What is the square area of a room measuring 2.5 meters long by 2.o meters wide by 2.5 meters height?

The floor area = 2.5 x 2.0 = 5.0 m2 The area of each long wall is 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25 m2 The area of both long walls is 2 x 6.25 = 12.5 m2 The area of each short wall is 2.0 x 2.5 = 5.0 m2 The area of both short walls is 2 x 5.0 = 10.0 m2 The total area of the floor and the four walls is 5.0 + 12.5 + 10.0 = 27.5 square metres


How much wallpaper do you need for a room that is 24 foot long 18 feet wide?

You need the height of the walls to do this. For our case, I'll assume the walls are 8 ft. high (which is the norm.) You need to find the area of the 4 walls. Area is length * height. So the area of the first pair of opposing walls is 24 * 8 or 192 sq. ft. The second pair of walls follows the same pattern: 18 * 8 or 144 sq. ft. We now know the area of both sizes of wall, but only one of each. So, we multiply the area of each by 2, and add those two values together to find our complete area. 192 * 2 + 144 * 2 = 384 + 288 = 672 sq. ft. If you have a different height than 8 ft, simply replace the 8 value in the orignal equations and follow the process from there.


Sallys room is 10ft high 15ft wide and 18ft long how many square feet of wallpaper will she need to cover only the walls?

-- Two of the walls are 15-ft wide and 10-ft high. Each of them has an area of 150 square ft.-- The other two walls are 18-ft wide and 10-ft high. The area of each is 180 square ft.-- The total area of the walls is (2 x 150) + (2 x 180) = 300 + 360 = 660 square ft.That's what Sally needs to start with, although she'll wind up cutting out and discardingpieces that would otherwise cover the door and windows.

How do i calculate how much wallpaper to purchase for my bedroom?

Multiply the length of each wall by the height of each wall and that will give you the area of the walls. Combine the resulting numbers for each wall and you have the area in square feet.

How many 200mm X 150mm tiles do I need to tile a bathroom 7ft square and 7ft high?

To calculate the number of tiles needed, first convert the bathroom dimensions from feet to millimeters: 7 feet is approximately 2134 mm. The total wall area to be tiled is the perimeter of the walls (4 walls of 2134 mm each) multiplied by the height (2134 mm), which gives approximately 18,000,000 mm². Each tile covers 200mm x 150mm, or 30,000 mm². Dividing the total wall area by the area of one tile, you would need about 600 tiles to cover the walls.
