23. Brooke paints the outsides of the square walls and triangular ceilings of her treehouse. What area does she paint?
Calculate the total area: \(Painted \ area = 4A_{wall} + 2A_{ceiling}\)
Step 1 :Find the area of each square wall: \(A_{wall} = side^2\)
Step 2 :Find the area of each triangular ceiling: \(A_{ceiling} = \frac{1}{2} base \cdot height\)
Step 3 :Calculate the total area: \(Painted \ area = 4A_{wall} + 2A_{ceiling}\)
