The area of the mural is calculated using the formula for the area of a right triangle, $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b = 3$ meters and $h = 9$ meters. Thus, $A = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 9 = 13.5$ square meters. Since each can covers 10 square meters, you would need 2 cans of varnish to cover the mural, as the third can would not be entirely used.
