1,252 PointsYou're not assigning the let area to anything. It's supposed to look like this:
import UIKit
let height = 120.0
let width = 144.0
let area = height * width

let height = 120.0 / 12
let width = 144.0 / 12
let area = height * width
let areaInFeet = area

1,252 PointsOh, so you're trying to convert the inches into feet? You just divide the inches by 12 to get the feet
