Answer:

11.4 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras theorem for a right-angled triangle

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

if you cut the rectangle in half, it will become a right angled triangle.

a and b are two sides of the rectangle, while c is the diagonal or hypothenuse

so 9^2 + 7^2 = c^2

81 + 49 = c^2

c^ 2 = 130

square root 130 = c

you should get approximately 11.4 metres

Otrada [13]

First you need to find the surface area of the wall that was painted, and then add the additional area in the hallway that was painted.

The wall that was painted was 9 feet by 10 feet, or 90 square feet. 90 square feet plus the additional 46 square feet in the hallway is 136 square feet, which is the total area that the paint covered.

Therefore the solution is 136 square feet.
