Given:

Room size = 14 feet x 10 feet

Height of room wall = 12 feet

Door size = 8.5 feet x 3.5 feet

Window size = 6 feet x 4 feet




Area of walls = Length of wall x Height of wall

= [(14 x 2) + (10 x 2)] x 12 ………..(where 2 is number of walls)

= 576 sq.ft.


Area of roof or celling = Length x Breadth

= 14 x 10

= 140 sq.ft.


Opening deductions = 1 Door + 1 Window

= (8.5 x 3.5) + (6 x 4)

= 53.75 sq.ft.


Total surface area = (Area of walls + Area of celling) – opening deduction

= (576 + 140) – 53.75

= 662.25 sq.ft.


Paint Required

For 1 sq.ft. = 0.0189 litters (new wall)

For 1 sq.ft. = 0.0108 litters (old wall)


Paint Required For New Wall

= 662.25 x 0.0189

= 12.5 litter

Paint Required For Old Wall

= 662.25 x 0.0108

= 7.15 litter
