Cost and Time Estimation for Painting a Room Using Polya's Problem Solving Technique
Using Polya's problem-solving technique, calculate the amount of paint required and the total cost of
painting a room. The room's dimensions are given, and there are windows on one of the walls.
Additionally, calculate the total time required to complete the painting.
Your solution should include the following steps:
1. Understanding the Problem: Identify the unknowns and the given data.
2. Devising a Plan: Outline the approach to find the cost of painting the walls and the ceiling twice,
excluding the area for the windows.
3. Carrying out the Plan: Calculate the total surface area of the walls and ceiling, subtract the
window area, calculate the paint required, and compute the cost.
4. Conclusion: Calculate the total amount of paint needed, the total cost, and the time required to
complete the painting.
