To determine the area of the hallway covered by the tiles, let's break down the information provided:

1. **Tile Area:** Each tile has an area of **1 square foot**.
2. **Rows of Tiles (B):** There are **$$ B $$** rows of tiles.
3. **Tiles per Row:** Each row contains **8 tiles**.

**Calculation Steps:**

1. **Total Number of Tiles:**
   $$
   \text{Total Tiles} = \text{Number of Rows} \times \text{Tiles per Row} = B \times 8 = 8B
   $$
   
2. **Total Area Covered:**
   Since each tile covers **1 square foot**, the total area covered by all tiles is:
   $$
   \text{Total Area} = \text{Total Tiles} \times \text{Area per Tile} = 8B \times 1 = 8B \text{ square feet}
   $$

**Conclusion:**
The area of the hallway is **$$ 8B $$** square feet.

**Final Answer:**  
The area of the hallway is 8 × B square feet, that is 8 B ft².
The area of the hallway is $$ 8 \times B $$ square feet, or $$ 8B $$ ft².
