    First,

    To calculate the total Area we need to add the area of every wall (4 of them) and subtract the area of the doorway.

    Height of the room ... x feet

    Width ... 3x feet

    Length ... 3x feet

    As the width and length are the same, this means that

    Area wall 1 = Area wall 2 = Area wall 3 = Area wall 4 = 3x*x = 3x²

    A total = 3x² + 3x² + 3x² + 3x² - (7 feet*3 feet)

    A total = 12x² - 21 feet²
