How do you find the area of a room?

Answer 1

Area = length x width = square measurement of floor space area

For example:

A room 3 meters by 4 meters has an area of 12 square meters. (3 x 4)

First of all you need to determine the shape of the room. If the room is L-shaped, or has a bay window, you will need to divide the room up into triangles, rectangles, trapezoids etc. Measure the size of each shape - in feet - and calculate the square footage using standard formulae. Finally sum the results.
