Answer:

They will cover 432 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the information in the problem

- The room has floor with dimensions 12 feet by 12 feet

- The height of the room is 9 feet

- The room has floor and ceiling with same dimensions

- The room has four walls with dimensions 12 feet and 9 feet

- The need to cover the 4 walls

- Each wall shaped a rectangle with base 12 feet and height 9 feet

- The area of the rectangle = base × height

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The base of the wall = 12 feet

∵ The height of the wall = 9 feet

∵ The area of the wall = base × height

∴ The area of one wall = 12 × 9 = 109 feet²

- The room has four identical walls

∴ The area of the 4 walls = 4 × 108 = 432 feet²

* They will cover 432 feet²
