    6 rolls

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Height of wall = 9'

    Width of walls = 13', 13', 18' and 18'

    Dimension of roll = 3' x 2' x 50'

    Now,

    Total area of the walls = 9' * 13' + 9' * 13' + 9' * 18' + 9' * 18'

    = 117 + 117 + 162 + 162

    = 558 ft²

    Area of each roll = 2' * 50'

    = 100 ft²

    Thus,

    Number of rolls required = [ Total area of the walls ] : [ Area of each roll ]

    = 558 ft² : 100 ft²

    = 5.58 ≈ 6 rolls
