okay, this should be simple but I haven't done this in a while...
what is the square feet of:
10ft 8in. by 6ft 5in
10ft 8in. by 6ft 3in
10ft 1in by 6ft 5in .......?

Area is Length times width and will be in square feet..
Change each measurement to feet.
10ft 8in = 10 + 8/12 = 10 + 2/3 ft. = 32/3 ft
6ft 5in = 6 + 5/12 = 6 +5/12 = 72/12 + 5/12 = 77/12
1st problem
(32/3)*(77/12) = 2464/36 = 68 + 16/36 =68.444sqft
The rest is up to you.
Note: 1st contributor above made a mistake when he converted 6ft 5in. It should be 6.416667ft. and NOT 6.5ft 5in is not .5ft but 6in is .5ft.

convert each to feet:
10ft. 8in = 10 2/3 feet
6ft 5in = 6.5 feet
6ft 3in = 6.25 feet
10ft 1in = 10 1/12 feet
No, do the multiplication, and your answers will be in square feet.

SQUARE FEET =
(10 + 8/12) * (6 + 5/12) +
(10 + 8/12) * (+ 3/12) +
(10 1/12) * (6 + 5/12) +
...
