1. the total area of the conference room is square meters.
2. the hotel should provide chairs.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the rectangular room

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \(A = length\times width\). Given \(length = 17\) meters and \(width = 5\) meters.
\(A=17\times5 = 85\) square meters.

Step2: Calculate the number of chairs

If there are \(3\) chairs per square meter and the area \(A = 85\) square meters, then the number of chairs \(N=3\times A\).
\(N = 3\times85=255\) chairs.

Answer:

1. \(85\)
2. \(255\)
