First, we need to calculate the surface area of the tank.
The tank has 6 faces: 2 long faces, 2 short faces, and 2 top and bottom faces.
The surface area of each long face = length * height = 3.5m * 2.5m = 8.75 square meters
The surface area of each short face = width * height = 2m * 2.5m = 5 square meters
The surface area of each top and bottom face = length * width = 3.5m * 2m = 7 square meters
Total surface area of the tank = (2 * 8.75) + (2 * 5) + (2 * 7) = 17.5 + 10 + 14 = 41.5 square meters
Therefore, Maria painted a total of 41.5 square meters of the tank's outside faces.
