[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the area of the room in square feet, we first need to find the actual dimensions of the room using the scale of 1:30.

Length of the room in actual size = 3 inches * 30 = 90 inches
Width of the room in actual size = 4 inches * 30 = 120 inches

Now, we can calculate the area of the room in square feet:
Area = (90 inches * 120 inches) / (12 inches/foot) / (12 inches/foot)
Area = (10800 square inches) / 144
Area = 75 square feet

Therefore, the area of the room is 75 square feet.
