Square feet is one way to measure area. Other ways to measure area are square inches, square meters, acres, square miles, etc.
Firstly, there is no indication as to what units are used for 72 x 48. 72 inches x 48 inches or 72 miles x 48 miles or whatever. Second, it looks like they are a measure of an area. In that case, there are no feet in an area since a foot is a linear measure, not a measure of an area.
Miles is a linear measure. Square feet is a measure of area. The two are not compatible
The area of the square is whatever it is. You don't change it or convert it, but you can describe it in any unit of area you like to use. The area of a square is the length of a side multiplied by itself (the "square" of the length). If you measure the side of the square in inches, then the number you get for the area is in square inches. If you measure it in feet, then you get the area in square feet. If you measure it in miles, then the area you get is in square miles. Here's how to convert a few different units of area into square inches. Multiply each one by the number next to it to get the same area in square inches: Square millimeters . . . . . . . . 0.00155 Square centimeters. . . . . . . . 0.155 Square meters . . . . . . . . 1,550 Square feet . . . . . . . . . . . . 144 Square yards. . . . . . . . . . 1,296 Square miles . . 40,144,489,600 Acres. . . . . . . . . . . . . 6,272,640
You can't. Inches measures length. Square feet measure area.
