my question is can someone tell me if a room is 17x10 the sq ft is like 602

17x8
17x8
10x8
10x8
17x10 for ceiling I'm trying to price a painting job by the sq ft
so how do I do the math if I was charging .70 per sq ft would I do 602x.70 there has to be more to it could someone please show me how to do this

You compute square feet by multiplying width x length, or 17 x 10 = 170 square feet; at .70 per sq ft = $119

Nope:

But maybe a little easer: (17*8*2)+(10*8*2)+(17*10)=602 sq ft.

602 ft*ft*0.70/ft*ft gives answer in $421.40
sq ft cancel and result is in $

Although paint charges should be separate.

Now suppose there was ceiling moulding, floor moulding and a chair rail and 4 wooden windows and 2 painted doors and two skylights. Now what?

ahamrick - In order to find the square feet of a area, like a room , You multiply the length X the width, A room 17 ft. X 10 ft. = 170 square feet
17x8 = 136
17 x 8 = 136
10 x 8 = 80
10 x 8 = 80
_17x 10 = 170
These equal 602 square feet 602 sq. ft. X .70 = $ 421.40

To come to this figure is to find the square feet of each room ( OR AREA ) then add them all togreather ,Then multiply the total square feet by the cost per square foot Which you said was ( $.70 per sq. foot, so 602 X >70 = $ 421.40

If you want to enclose 48 square feet, how many options do they have and what are they?

[sgegring]

8ftx18ftx9ft

[sgegring]
