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)
