The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
For the first room:
Length = 16 feet
Width = 10 feet
Area = 16 ft * 10 ft = 160 square feet
For the second room:
Length = 13.5 feet
Width = 10 feet
Area = 13.5 ft * 10 ft = 135 square feet
Total area = 160 square feet + 135 square feet = 295 square feet
