(18x2+22x2)9/350=2.057Jenna is painting the walls of a game room which is 22ft by 18 ft by 9 ft.a gallon of paint covers 350 sqft2?
I take it 2 walls are 22ft long, 2 walls are 18ft long and the ceiling is 9ft up the wall. Then 2 x 22ft long x 9ft high = 396sq ft and 2 x 18ft long x 9ft high = 324sq ft. Add both together and you get an area to be painted of 720sq ft. 2 gallons will cover 700sq ft so unfortunately you will need 3 tins of paint. Hopefully you can buy 2 tins gallon size and a 3rd tin of much smaller size that will cover at least 20sq ft.





I don't know where the other guy got 11 gallons from, at a guess he must have mistakenly calculated volume rather than just area as required. All the best
The area of the walls is 2*(22+18)*9=720 sq ft so she needs 720/350 = 2.06 gallon.
she will need 11 gallons of paint
