Jack is going to decorate one wall of his room by putting a border along the top of the wall. The wall is a square with an area of 576 square feet. What is the length of the border he will need? (Note: must use new learning to calculate)

Answer:
Math may not have been your favorite subject in school, but like it or not it's a part of just about every home improvement project.
You might be trying to figure out how many square feet are in a room so you can buy the right amount of paint or flooring, or maybe you're doing something a bit more complicated, like calculating a room's volume for sizing a bath fan, or figuring out the number of board feet in a piece of lumber.

But don't let your eyes glaze over just yet, because all you need to handle all this and more is a basic calculator and a few simple formulas.
Area measurements
Area calculations take two of the three dimensions into account. It might be width and length, as when measuring a floor, or width and height, as when measuring a wall. For the following examples, we'll use a rectangular room that is 10 feet wide, 12 feet long, and 8 feet high.

• Area of the floor or ceiling: Multiply the length by the width (10 feet x 12 feet = 120 square feet of area).
- • Area of a wall: Multiply the width of the wall by its height. So one of the walls is 80 square feet (10 feet wide x 8 feet high) and the other is 96 square feet (12 feet x 8 feet). If you need the total square footage of the walls - for figuring paint or wallpaper for example - you can simplify the calculation by first adding all the wall lengths together, then multiplying by the height (10 + 12 + 10 + 12 = 44 x 8 = 352 square feet of total wall area).
