You can put this solution on YOUR website!

let's the area of the room be: A=LW where L=length and W=width
if the measurement is 22ft 4in by 31ft+8in, than
L is 31ft+8in and W is 22ft 4in
now, you need to convert in into ft
1in=0.08ft => 8in=8%2A0.08ft=0.64ft
L=31ft%2B8in=31ft%2B0.64ft=31.64ft
W=22ft%2B4in=22ft%2B0.32ft=22.32ft
go to
A=LW ...plug in L=31.64ft and W=22.32ft
A=31.64ft%2A22.32ftW
A=706.2ft%5E2
