Answer:

No

Explanation:

Remember, she didn't take note of possible defects that may arise during actual construction, hence her prediction may be inaccurate.

Also, the 75 square feet mentioned is more likely based on approximations, and so it is best to think of possible deviation in the actual length of the room due to measurement error.
