1 square foot is created by 3 feet of 4 inch wide boards.
This can be seen by laying 3 boards each a foot long next to each other.
It follows that:
32 * 3 = 96 linear feet of board to cover 32 square feet of surface.
The formula:
(12/#widthOfBoardInInches#) * #squareFeetToCover# = #linearFeetNeeded#

you don't. square feet is area, lineal feet is distance.
Answer is Zero. Trick question ! A measure of length ( lineal ) is not a measure of an enclosed area.
A linear or lineal foot is EXACTLY the same as a foot. So, the answer is 475 lineal feet.
This can not be answered without more information. You need to know the width of the item being measured by length (which is what lineal foot refers to). If it is a roll of carpet 25 feet wide, you would need 100 lineal feet to cover 2500 sqare feet. If it is a 2.5 foot counter top, you would need 1000 lineal feet. Divide 2500 by the width in feet of the material being measured and you will get the number of lineal feet required.
