calculate the area of the wall

Calculate the area of the wall.

Solution

To calculate the area of the wall shown in the image, let's break it down into manageable parts:

1. Wall Dimensions:

The house has a rectangular section for the wall. Its dimensions are provided:

  • Height of the wall (excluding the triangular roof): 6 m
  • Width of the wall: 7 m

So, the area of the rectangular wall is: Area of the rectangle=6m×7m=42m2\text{Area of the rectangle} = 6 \, \text{m} \times 7 \, \text{m} = 42 \, \text{m}^2

2. Windows and Door Areas:

We need to subtract the areas of the windows and the door:

  • There are 3 windows, each measuring 1m×1m=1m21 \, \text{m} \times 1 \, \text{m} = 1 \, \text{m}^2.
    • Total area of the windows: 3×1m2=3m23 \times 1 \, \text{m}^2 = 3 \, \text{m}^2
  • The door measures 1m×2m=2m21 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m} = 2 \, \text{m}^2.

3. Final Calculation:

The total area of the windows and the door is: 3m2(windows)+2m2(door)=5m23 \, \text{m}^2 \, (\text{windows}) + 2 \, \text{m}^2 \, (\text{door}) = 5 \, \text{m}^2

Now, subtract the area of the windows and door from the total area of the wall: Net area of the wall=42m25m2=37m2\text{Net area of the wall} = 42 \, \text{m}^2 - 5 \, \text{m}^2 = 37 \, \text{m}^2

Thus, the area of the wall is 37 m².
