    16,771.56 square feet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

    The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

    17.8 x 80 = 1,424

    21.2 x 80 = 1,696

    Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

    1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

    Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

    1 ft² = 144 in²

    2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

    So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.
