Answer:

To find the total cost of painting the inner walls of the cubicle room, we need to calculate the total area of the walls and then multiply it by the cost per square meter.

A cubicle room has six walls (floor, ceiling, and four vertical walls). Since the height or vertical dimension is not provided, let's assume it to be 3.5 meters as well (assuming the room is a cube).

Given:

Edge of the cubicle room = 3.5 m

Height of the cubicle room = 3.5 m

To calculate the area of one wall, we multiply the height by the edge length:

Area of one wall = 3.5 m * 3.5 m = 12.25 square meters

Since there are four vertical walls, the total area of the vertical walls is:

Total area of vertical walls = 4 * 12.25 square meters = 49 square meters

The total cost of painting the walls can be found by multiplying the total area by the cost per square meter:

Total cost = Total area of vertical walls * Cost per square meter

= 49 square meters * $5/square meter

= $245

Therefore, the total cost of painting the inner walls of the cubicle room would be $245.
