Question

A square room has a floor area 36 ft. the height of the room is 4 feet what is the area of one wall

Answer 1

24 ft

Explanation:

1. Because the room is square we know the length of the walls are all the same.
2. To find the edge length of each edge square root the total area -
   `√(36)`.
3. The length of each side of the floor is 6 ft.
4. Since the length of an edge of the floor is the same as the length of a wall the length of the wall is 6 ft.
5. Using the equation W x H plugging in the values 4 for height and 6 for width the answer is 24 ft.
