Recall that:


\begin{gathered} 1ft=12in, \\ 1in=2.54\operatorname{cm}\text{.} \end{gathered}

Then:


1ft=12(2.54)cm=30.48\operatorname{cm}\text{.}

Therefore:


1ft^2=1ft*1ft=30.48\operatorname{cm}*30.48\operatorname{cm}=929.0304cm^2\text{.}

Finally, we get that:


\begin{gathered} 1.3ft^2=1.3*929.0304cm^2 \\ \approx1207.74cm^2. \end{gathered}

Answer:


1207.74cm^2.
