3.39xx10^5 " ft"^3

Explanation:

First, you need the conversion factor of meters to feet:

1 " m"=3.281 " ft"

Next, convert each edge of the room:

length = 40 " m"xx(3.281 " ft")/(1 " m")=131 " ft"

width = 20 " m"xx(3.281 " ft")/(1 " m")=65.6 " ft"

height = 12 " m"xx(3.281 " ft")/(1 " m")=39.4 " ft"

Then, find the volume:

volume = length xx width xx height

volume = 131 " ft"xx65.5 " ft"xx39.4 " ft" = 3.39xx10^5 " ft"^3
