Square footage is the length multiplied by the width of an area in feet.
Imagine this. You have a square piece of fabric (or tile, or wood, or whatever) that is exactly 1 foot long and 1 foot wide, meaning it is perfectly square. The number of these square pieces that you can fit into an area is the measurement in square feet. Of course, if the area is not perfectly squared or rectangled or evenly rounded to the nearest foot, you would have some leftover space using this description. This is why is it better to use the equation of length times width for each section and then adding each sections' square footage together to figure the total square footage.

If you have a rectangular room, you measure its length and width in feet and then multiply the two numbers to get the area of the room in square feet. If the room is not rectangular (eg with a bay, an alcove or an L-shaped room) you will need to divide it up into simpler shapes, calculate the area of each shape and add the areas together.
