Given:

The length of the hall = 21 m

The width of the hall = 14 m

Formula used:

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area of four wall of rectangular hall = 2 × (Length + Breadth) × Height

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

Calculation:

Let the height of the hall be H

Area of floor = 21 × 14 = 294 m2

Sum of floor and ceiling = 294 + 294 = 588 m2

The area of the four walls of the hall = 2 × (21 + 14) × H = 70H

According to the question

⇒ 70H = 588

⇒ H = \({588\over70}=8.4\ m\)

∴ The required result will be 8.4 m.
