Charlotte calculates the area of each of the four walls and finds that the total area of the walls, disregarding the doors and windows is 531 square feet. there are two walls that have dimensions of 16 feet by 9 feet: 2(16 feet)(9 feet) = 288 square feet. there are two walls that have dimensions of 13 feet by 9 feet: 2(13 feet)(9 feet) = 243 square feet. total area of walls: 288 square feet + 243 square feet = 531 square feet. next, she calculates that the doors and windows add an extra 70 square feet, making the total square footage 601 square feet. area of doors and windows: 2(20 square feet) + 2(15 square feet) = 40 square feet + 30 square feet = 70 square feet. total area, including doors and windows: 531 square feet + 70 square feet = 601 square feet. finally, she calculates that since one gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, she will need two gallons of paint. = β‡’ 601(1) = 350x β‡’ 601 = 350x β‡’ 1.72 β‰ˆ x since the paint charlotte is buying only comes in gallons, she figures that she'll need to buy two gallons. do charlotte's calculations make sense? why or why not? make sure to address each step in your answer and use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.
