When working in a global environment, you’ll have to present information in both metric and Imperial units. And you’ll need to know when to do the conversion to ensure the most accurate results.

Create a program that calculates the area of a room. Prompt the user for the length and width of the room in feet. Then display the area in both square feet and square meters.

Example Output

The formula for this conversion is

Constraints

• Keep the calculations separate from the output.

• Use a constant to hold the conversion factor.

Challenges

• Revise the program to ensure that inputs are entered as numeric values. Don’t allow the user to proceed if the value entered is not numeric.

• Create a new version of the program that allows you to choose feet or meters for your inputs.

• Implement this program as a GUI program that automatically updates the values when any value changes.
