201.64 ft^2 or 61.46 m^2

Explanation:

As the bedroom is a square, the length and the width is the same.

Therefore,

Length is 14.2 foot

Width is 14.2 foot

The area of a square is color(red)(a^2) where color(red)a is the length of a side.

color(red)(a^2)=14.2 xx 14.2

Area = 201.64 ft^2

We know 1 foot = 0.3 meters

Therefore, Area = 201.64 xx 0.3 m^2

Area = 61.46 m^2
