#201.64# f#t^2# or #61.46# #m^2#

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# f#t^2#

We know #1# foot = #0.3# meters

Therefore, Area = #201.64 xx 0.3 m^2#

Area = #61.46 m^2#
