If you know the length ft.(linear) and you wish to know its area (sq. footage), you must also know the width. Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) equals area or sq. feet. Linear in this case refers to length.
You cannot have linear square footage because: "linear" means the measurement is 1-dimensional. "square" means the measurement is 2-dimensional. The above two statements are mutually contradictory!
I think (hope) you mean square, not linear. Answer is 18 ft2
A 8' fence will have a higher cost per foot than a 6' will. Most quotes will be based on linear footage + gates and extras.
Since you know the length you know the linear footage. Next: measure the width and multiply the width by the length, this will give you the area or sq. footage. Length x width. For example: a room 8 ft. long x 10 ft. wide would be 64 square feet. The length is important because your carpet at the big box store is 10 feet wide and you only need 8 linear feet. In this case the square footage is: 8 ft. x 10 ft. = 80 sq. feet.
Linear footage is a one dimensional measurment. Board footage is volume. one board foot is 1 inch thick by 12 inches square. 1" x 12" x 12" = 144 cubic inches of wood or one board foot.

You can't calculate linear footage based on square yardage alone. If you meant square footage it will cover 810 sq. ft..

Linear footage is feet in a line. as in, not square footage, just length or height. take a 5 foot square: its perimeter is measure in linear feet (20 linear feet) 5+5+5+5 Its area is measured in square feet (25 square feet) 5 x 5 A 5-foot cube would be measured in cubic feet (125 cubic feet) 5 x 5 x 5
Divide the square footage by the width in feet. Example: 20 sq. ft roll of material is made up of 10 linear feet by 2 feet in width. 20 square feet divided by 2 feet wide equals 10 linear feet and 2 feet wide. For linear feet ask yourself how long is it. 100 sq. ft. 1 foot wide would be 100 linear feet long.

There's no way to calculate that just from square footage.
Determine length (linear) and how wide is it. Multiply the length times the width and this will give you the total area or square footage. Here is another example: A product is sold by the 20 foot long (linear feet) roll. The specifications state that the product is 2 foot wide x 20 feet long. It is in fact 20 ft. x 2 ft. wide or 40 square feet per roll.
The question really can't be answered. Linear is simply length. The square footage is 5,760 which would be the same as the linear if you were using a 1 ft. wide strip.
Without a second measurement of width, there is no way of knowing. Linear is length and square foot is area. You have to know length and width to figure it. 30 linear feet 1 foot wide would be 30 square feet.
