Based on given exterior measurements, what is the area of a one and one-half storey house?

  1. 1,050 square feet

  2. 1,110 square feet

  3. 1,140 square feet

  4. 1,500 square feet

The correct answer is: 1,110 square feet

In a one and one-half storey house, the upper floor usually has sloped ceilings due to the roofline. This means that the area of the upper floor is less than the main floor due to the slope of the roof. When calculating the total area of a one and one-half storey house, you would generally include the area of the main floor plus a portion of the upper floor. The most accurate method to calculate this is to measure the exterior dimensions of the building and account for the reduced area of the upper floor due to the slope of the roof. In this case, the correct answer of 1,110 square feet is the best option based on the measurements provided. It reflects the typical situation where the upper floor of a one and one-half storey house is smaller than the main floor due to the roofline.
