The painter charged ₹ 5 per m2 to paint the wall, as shown in the figure. The dimensions of the door is 3 m×2 m and that of the wall is 8 m×8 m, calculate the area to be painted and the amount to be paid to the painter.
58 m2, ₹ 290
Since the door is not to be painted, we have to subtract the area of door from that of wall's area.
Area of the wall =8 m×8 m=64 m2
Area of the door =3 m×2 m=6 m2
Area to be painted =64−6=58 m2
cost = ₹ 5 per m2
Cost of painting =58×5=₹ 290
