Two things wrong. First, all you have done is declare a new constant areaInFeet and assigned it to 16, 800. Second, you need to divide both height and width individually by 12 in order to return their respective amount in feet.

// the height and width of a wall
let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches

let areaInFeet = (height / 12) * (width / 12)
