Hanna painst a space on her bedroom wall that is 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Her mother paints a space that is 7 feet tall and 8 feet wide. What is the area of each space? Who paints a greater area?

Answer 1

Hanna paints a greater space.

Explanation:

To find the area of a wall (rectangle) you need to multiply base (width) by height

Hanna: Width = 10 feet,

Height = 6 feet

Area = 10 × 6 = 60

Area = 60 feet

Hanna painted 60 feet

Mother: Width = 8 feet

Height = 7 feet

Area = 8 × 7 = 56

Area = 56 feet

Mother painted 56 feet
