Solution
Given, a wall of a room is of dimensions 5 m × m.
∴ Length of the room = 5 m and breadth of the room = 4 m
∴ Area of the room = l × b = 5 × 4 = 20 m2
Also, length of the window = 1.5 m and breadth of the window = 1 m ...[Given]
∴ Area of the window = l × b = 1.5 × 1 = 1.5 m2
Now, length of the door = 2.25 m and breadth of the door = 1 m
∴ Area of the door = l × b = 2.25 × 1 = 2.25 m2
Now, area of the wall to be painted = Area of the room – (Area of the window + Area of the door)
= 20 – (1.5 + 2.25)
= 20 – 3.75
= 16.25 m2
