96 square feet. To calculate square feet simply multiply length by width - the result is the area in square feet.
What are the applications of surface area?
It depends what you need to do to or with the area. You need it to make a purchase i.e. land or carpeting. You may need it to quantify how much paint to buy for painting a room or fertilizer for your yard. It can be used in Physics, i.e. a pound of steel shaped into a solid ball will sink, yet if shaped into a large bowl, it floats. Just too many applications to list.
How many square feet are in a room which is 4 ft buy 10 ft?
The floor and the ceiling are each (4 x 10) = 40 square feet. In order to calculate the area of the walls, we would have to know the height of the ceiling.
How do you calculate how much carpeting is needed for a room?
The obvious answer is to figure out the total area of the room and then buy an area of carpet equal to this amount. Since rooms often do not match up with standard carpet widths, this can lead to a patchwork of small bits cobbled together to cover the last areas of the room. Choose an area of the room that can be covered with one piece of the carpet. This is carpet area #1. Then determine the fewest large pieces of carpet needed to cover the rest -- even if there is some waste involved. This is carpet area #2. Total carpet purchase is area 1+2.
Why would the number of square feet in a room has to be important to you?
Knowing that information is the only accurate way to determine . . . -- the cost to repair or replace the floor -- how much carpet needed to cover the floor -- what size rug required for the floor -- how much paint to buy, to paint the ceiling and/or any walls in the room -- how much seed and fertilizer required to start a lawn in the room
How much should it cost to paint a room in a house?
Professional painters will typically charge $200-$500 per room depending on the type of paint, how high the walls are, etc. Painter costs should include the cost of the paint and supplies. I paid a friend $100 per room but had to buy all the supplies (brush, pans, rollers, paint, etc.). I paid about $200 in supplies and $200 in paint cost for 4 rooms.

Where you ever had to use surface area outside of math?
Calculating whether I had enough paint to decorate a room in my house ! I had to work out what size tin of emulsion to get. Since the estimated coverage of the tin of paint is displayed on the label - knowing the area I wanted to paint enabled me to buy the correct size of tin. Additionally - calculating the area of carpet required for the newly-painted room ensured I didn't have too much left over after I cut it to fit !
