The area of the room would be 60 feet. This is because 10 times .60 equals 6 and 10 times 6 equals 60. So the answer would be 60 sq ft. squared.

Answer:

$60\ ft^(2)$

Explanation:

Let

x-------> the length of the room

y-------> the width of the room

we know that

$60\%=(60)/(100)=0.60$

$x=10\ ft$

y=0.60x

Find the value of y

$y=0.60(10)=6\ ft$

The area of the rectangular room is equal to

A=xy

substitute the values of x and y

$A=10*6=60\ ft^(2)$
