Wilber · Answer 1

372inches or 31feet

How to:

7feet and three inches is equal to 87 inches and 8ft and 3 inches is equal to 99 inches. Then you know that both sides have to be multiplied by two because there are four sides in the room. Meaning you have 174in and 198in. Then you add those together to get your answer which is 372. To get back to feet just divide by twelve.
