Directions

Sandra, Tita’s 6-year-old daughter, begs Tita to paint her entire room pink (but not the floor!). The paint department at the hardware store wants to know the total area of the walls and the ceiling so that they can sell Tita the right amount of paint.

Sandra's room has two walls that are 10 feet long by 8 feet wide, and two walls that are 12 feet long by 8 feet wide. The ceiling is 12 feet long by 10 feet wide. How many square feet will Tita be painting pink? (Use the calculator if you need to.)
