In order to answer this correctly, we must understand that one meter is approximately 3 feet.

12 feet ÷ 3.28 feet/meter = 3.66 meters

10 feet ÷ 3.28 feet/meter = 3.05 meters

3.66 meters x 3.05 meters = 11.163 meters2

* * * * *

Unfortunately, converting first and then calculating the area compounds the rounding error.

12 ft * 10 ft = 120 square feet.

The convesion factor from sq ft to sq metres is approx (1/0.3048)2 = 10.7639so that the area is 11.148 metres2. which rounds to 11.1 metres2, not 11.2 as the previous answer would suggest.

A small difference, but the important lesson is that rounding errors are important.

Alright, darling, let's do some quick math. First, convert those pesky feet to meters: 12ft is about 3.66m and 10ft is roughly 3.05m. Now, multiply those bad boys together and you get a room that's approximately 11.18 square meters. Voilà, you've got your answer, honey!
