1a. A painter needs to paint two walls that are each 9 feet high by 9 feet wide, and another two walls that are 9 feet high by 18 feet wide. First, determine the total area of the four walls (ignoring doors or windows). Next, if the painter can paint at roughly 17 square feet per minute, determine how long it should take the painter to finish the job. Please round your answer to the nearest tenth of a minute (one decimal place). 1b. A flower bed is a circle with a diameter of 15 feet. A landscaper will be placing decorative edging around the perimeter that costs $3.12 per foot. First determine the circumference of the flower bed. Use 3.1416 as your value for pi, taking care not to round just yet. Next, use this value to determine how much it will cost to place the edging rounded to the nearest cent (two decimal places).
