Work out the area before and after by multiplying the length by the width for each room size.
So for the smaller room:
a = 21 x 18
= 378 sq ft
and for the larger room
A = 24 x 20
= 480 sq ft
So the difference is the area of the larger room minus the area of the smaller room:
Area difference = A - a
= 480 - 378
= 102 sq ft
