A wall is to be coated with stucco.

Dimensions-

Length- 24 feet

Width- 12 feet

Height- 10 feet

Thickness- .5 feet

Calculate number of square feet of stucco for the inside, outside, and top of wall.

I assume its a 4 sided room L x W x H and wall thickness 0.5.
I assume you gave the outside dimensions
So (72 x 10) + (68 x 10) + (288 - 253) = 1435

"So (72 x 10) + (68 x 10) + (288 - 253) = 1435"

72- Length x 3 sides

10- Height

10- Height

24 * 12 * 10 = 2880

Show how you arrived at the other numbers for your calculation.

outside + inside + walltop
(LO+BO)x2x10 + (LI+BI)x2x10 + (LOxBO - LIxBI)
(12+24)x2x10 + (11+23)x2x10 + (12x24 - 11x23) = 1435
