How many square feet are in 16 feet?

Answer 1

Hi Your question doesn't make sense as it is written. To calculate square feet you need two dimensions. So 2 feet multiplied by 8 feet would give you 16 square feet. So would 4 feet multiplied by 4 feet. They are the same square footage, but different shapes. Think if you were adding a deck on your house and wanted to know how much paint to buy for it. If your deck is 10 feet by 16 feet, then 10 x 16 = 160 square feet. Then you look on the paint can and it says (conveniently) one can will cover 160 square feet. Phil
