How many square feet are in a square feet?

Answer 1

about 4 feet aprox. in a square foot.

12 x 12 inches = 144 square inches = 144 inches / 1 square foot = ?

++++

That second answer is correct to a point, but the first, and question itself, are both nonsense. The equations should finish, ".... 144 square inches = 1 square foot". (That 144 sq ins / 1 sq ft = 1, because the / sign means "divide by".)

Answer 2

a square foot has 4 feet in it. one foot per side

---- To lessen confusion...

Actually, the perimeter of a square foot is 4 feet. One square foot is one foot wide by one foot tall (1 ft x 1 ft = 1 sq ft).

Actually you can't measure how many feet are in a square foot since one is distance and the other area.

for example, a rectangle that is 0.25ft by 4 ft would have a area of one square foot and a perimeter of 8.5 feet. there are an infinite combination of perimeters that would make up a square foot. There is only one (as mentioned above, 1ft x 1ft) that is an actual square.

Answer 3

there is 32 square feet in a square, a square is a unit of measurement like when your doing shingles

A square can have any number of square feet.

a square in roofing is 100 sq ft

++

I can't debate American architectural standards, but if taken generally the question itself is meaningless, because a square is a regular quadrilateral of four sides that are of any, but equal, lengths.

Answer 4

A foot is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a square is a 2-dimensional shape. The two belong to different dimensional spaces and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Answer 5

In a square foot ... one.
