Given:$

Dimensions of outer walls = 9.6 m × 14.6 m.

Thickness of the wall = 0.40 m

Calculations:$

Plinth area of the building = $(\left( {9.6 + \frac{{0.40}}{2} + \frac{{0.40}}{2}} \right) \times \left( {14.6 + \frac{{0.40}}{2} + \frac{{0.40}}{2}} \right))$

Plinth area of the building = (10 × 15) = 150 m2$
