First, calculate the total area of the wall.
1 hour and 40 minutes is equivalent to 1 2/3 hours or 5/3 hrs.
if her rate was 42 ft2/hr, then the total area she painted
was
A = 42 * 5/3 = 70 ft2
Now, the formula to find the area of the wall is
A = Lw
Let A = 70 and, L = 13 and w be the height of the wall. So,
A = Lw
70 = 13w
13w/13 = 70/13
w ≈ 5
Hence, the height of the wall is approximately 5 feet tall.
