Answer:
SA = 434 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to exclude the floor since we are assuming he won't paint the floor. The shed has 5 sides since we aren't going to consider the floor.
length - L
width - W
height - H
surface area - SA
H = 8 ft
L = 14 ft
W = 7 ft
To calculate the area of each side or surface of the shed,
since there are two sides/ surfaces with the same are except for the roof, we will multiply the areas by 2.
Surface area:
SA = 2 × (W×H + L×H) + L×W
SA = 2 × (7×8 + 14×8) + 14×7
SA = 434 ft^2
