Answer:

219

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has the shape of a trapezoid. We find the area of the trapezoid and subtract the area of the rectangular door.

area of trapezoid = (base1 + base2)h/2

area of trapezoid = (20 ft + 12 ft) * 15 ft / 2

area of trapezoid = 32 ft * 15 ft /2

area of trapezoid = 240 ft^2

area of rectangle = length * width

area of rectangle = 7 ft * 3 ft

area of rectangle = 21 ft^2

area to be painted = area of trapezoid - area of rectangle

area to be painted = 240 ft^2 - 21 ft^2

area to be painted = 219 ft^2

Answer: 219 ft^2
