Answer 1

The area Marco and his friends will need to paint is

`782ft^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The floor of the room is 23.5 ft by 22.5 ft

The walls of the room are h = 8.5 ft tall

The length and width of the floor will be the same as that of the wall, so, the area Marco and his friends will need to paint is:

`\begin{gathered} 2(8.5)(23.5+22.5) \\ =17(46) \\ =782ft^2 \end{gathered}`
