If you want the surface of a rectangle, you multiply length by width - and if the measurements are in feet, the area will be in square feet. For other geometric figures, there are other formulae.

Calculating square feet is calculating the area. For simple, regular shapes there are formulae, For more complicated shapes, it may be necessary to break up the area into simpler shapes, find their areas and sum these together. For even more complicated areas it may not be possible to calculate the area: the best that can be done is estimating it.

How many square meters are there in a room that measures 14 feet by 10 feet?

There are two steps to take to answering this question: converting imperial to metric and calculating the surface area. These steps can be taken in any order. You also have to know how many meters are in a foot. (0.3048) Converting the 10 feet and 14 feet to meters is done by multiplying by 0.3048 resulting in 3.048 meters and 4.2672 meters. You can then multiply these to get an area of 13.0064256 square meters. You can also multiply 10 feet by 14 feet to get an area of 140 square feet, which you then need to multiply by the square of 0.3048 (0.09290304) to get 13.0064256 square meters again. You need to square your meters/feet ratio in that last step because you are now converting square feet to square meters meters.
