Given :

                      square meter             square feet

                              1                             10.8

                             90                            x

$\frac{1}{90} = \frac{10.8}{x}\\\\1 \times x =10.8 \times 90 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ cross \ multiply \ ]\\\\x = 972$
