3.14 x the radius (from the center of the room to the edge) = the square footage

The question you are asking cannot be answered with the supplied information. (And It reminds me of the riddle "which is heavier, a ton of bricks, or a ton of feathers?") Cubic feet is a measure of area, while square feet is a measure of volume. Area is calculated (in the case of a rectangle) using the equation Area = Length x Width Volume is calculated using the equation Volume = Length x Width x Height or simply Volume = Area x Height. Lets say you were working with concrete slabs (foundations). You want to build a garage that is 15ft wide, and 30 feet long. To calculate the square feet you would multiply the two, with a product (result) of 450 square feet. To find out how many cubic feet your slab is, you'dneed to know how thick it is. If the thickness is 8" you'd have the following equation. 450 square feet x 8/12 foot = 300 cubic feet. If the thickness is 1 foot you'd have 450 cubic feet. ( 450 Sq. ft x 1 ft = 450 Cu. ft) If the thickness is 16" you'd have 450 square feet x 16/12 feet = 600 cubic feet. You should get the point now. Distance is linear feet, area is square feet, and volume is cubic feet. They all measure different things, and require something to calculate the next. You cannot calculate the area of a room from its length (without measuring the width), in the same sense that you cannot calculate the amount of air in a room without measuring the height of the ceiling.
area is length x width
10 X 14 = You do the math!
14' x 13' = 182 square feet.
You can calculate the amount of paint needed by finding the square footage of the room to be painted. Each manufacturer has a recommendation as to how many square feet a gallon of paint will cover. Make sure to calculate for primer if needed and or a second coat of finish.
