Normally you can't. One measures a distance, another an area. My room is 8 feet long and happens to be 70 square feet. You can't convert.

However if you are talking about a roll of something - say paper towels, carpeting or linoleum and you know the width is fixed (say 12 feet wide) and you measure off say 2 feet of this, then you multiply the length times the width to get square feet.
