Answer: 1100 square meters

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

1 unit along the grid represents 5 feet in real life.

A 1 unit by 1 unit square on the graph paper represents a 5*5 = 25 square foot area in real life.

This means we multiply by 25 when going from the floor plan's area to the real world area.

44*25 = 1100 square meters is the area of the room in real life when the floor plan says the area is 44 sq units.
