Answer:

272 square feet would be painted

Explanation:

square feet is the area of something, so first you would multiply length times width (16x8 1/2) and that equals 136. That’s the square feet of one wall, and both the walls are identical so the expression would be (16x8 1/2)x2, and 136 times 2 is 272
