What is the total living area of a one and one-half storey home with 2 dormers if the main floor area is 12.5 metres by 14.3 metres, the second floor is 6.6 metres by 12.5 metres, and each dormer measures 2 metres by 3 metres?

  1. 24.93 square metres.

  2. 55.90 square metres.

  3. 267.25 square metres.

  4. 273.25 square metres.

  5. 51.40 square metres.

  6. 210.75 square metres.

The correct answer is: 24.93 square metres.

To determine the total living area of the one and one-half storey home, you need to calculate the area of each level separately and then add them together, including the area added by the dormers. Start by calculating the main floor area. The dimensions given are 12.5 metres by 14.3 metres. Multiplying these values provides the main floor area: Main Floor Area = 12.5 m × 14.3 m = 178.75 square metres. Next, calculate the area of the second floor, which has dimensions of 6.6 metres by 12.5 metres: Second Floor Area = 6.6 m × 12.5 m = 82.5 square metres. Now, add the area of both floors together: Total Before Dormers = Main Floor Area + Second Floor Area Total Before Dormers = 178.75 m² + 82.5 m² = 261.25 square metres. Next, consider the dormers. There are two dormers with each measuring 2 metres by 3 metres. Calculate the area of one dormer: Dormer Area = 2 m × 3 m = 6 square metres. For two dormers,
