An L-shaped area can be divided into two rectangles. The total area is the sum of the areas of the two rectangles.

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.
The area of a room is not enough to determine its dimensions. First of all, there is no information on its shape: circular, polygonal, a random wobbly shape? There are infinitely many possible shapes. Even assuming it is rectangular, there are infinitely many possibilities for its dimensions. Suppose the length of the room is L feet and let W = 570/L be the room's width. Then for any value of L greater than or equal to 23.9, W < 23.9 and area of the room = L*W = L*(570/L) = 570 sq ft. Since L can have any one of infinitely many values, the room can have infinitely many possible shapes.

If the room is rectangular, the area is the product of its length and width.
