Answer:
304
Explanation:
you don't know the relation of feet and inches ? or what is the problem ?
1 foot = 12 inches
so, if we would simply scale feet to inches (divide by 12), the length would be 32 inches.
32×12 / 12 = 32.
but it is 16 inches.
we notice the ratio of 32 to 16 (a factor of 2 between them), so we need another division by 2 to scale correctly.
therefore the scaling factor s = 1/12/2 = (1/12)/(2/1) = 1/24 on inches.
this scaling factor is the same for every dimension or axis.
the full size width is 38×12 inches.
so the scaled width of the room is therefore 38×12/24 = 38/2 = 19.
the floor area of the scanned room is then 16 × 19 = 304
