Answer:

204 ft²

Explanation:

Let's split the room to make it look like there are two squares.

We can make it to where one square is 14 ft long and 10 ft wide.

The other square can be 16 ft long and 4 ft wide

Find the areas of those two squares by multiplying width and length

14 x 10 = 140

16 x 4 = 64

Add those two together

140 + 64 = 204
