closet.
• The east wall is 3 yards long.
The south wall is 10 feet long but has a window, 5 feet by 3 feet, that does not
need to be painted.
• The west wall is 3 yards long but has a door, 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide, that does
not need to be painted.
• The north wall includes a closet, 6.5 feet wide, with floor-to-ceiling mirrored doors
that do not need to be painted.
• There is, however, a smaller wall between the west wall and the closet that does
need to be painted on all sides.
The wall is 0.5 feet wide and extends 2 feet into the room. The ceiling in this
