Unfortunately, "It Depends" - - To determine square footage, you have to know whether the lawn is square, rectangular, circular, or some other shape. Assuming a rectangle (or square), the square footage is determined by multiplying the length by the width. Linear footage is determined by adding 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. If the lawn is a square, there is only one answer (as there is only one solution which will give 1500 square feet: length and width of 38.73-some odd decimal, meaning 2 times length and 2 times width gives a linear footage of some 154.92 feet). However, if the lawn is rectangular, there are an infinite number of answers. Giving three examples to show the range: 1) If the lawn is 50 feet long by 30 feet wide, that will give (50x30), or 1500 square feet of area and ([50x2]+[30x2]), or 160 linear feet. 2) If the lawn is 100 feet long by 15 feet wide, that will give (100x15), or 1500 square feet of area and ([100x2]+[15x2]), or 230 linear feet. 3) If the lawn is an alleyway in the middle of a big city and 1500 feet long by 1 foot wide, that will still give the required (1500x1), or 1500 square feet of area...but a whopping ([1500x2]+[1x2]), or 3002 linear feet around! (Note that the square gives the least linear footage possible for a rectangular-shaped lawn) Have fun figuring out circular, elliptoid, and other funny shaped lawns...

How many square feet are there in 4000 linear feet?

There is no way to convert linear feet to square feet because the unit 'linear feet' measures length but the unit 'square feet' measures area.


How many linear feet is 350 square feet?

To determine the linear feet from square feet, you need to know the width of the area. If, for example, the width is 10 feet, you would divide 350 square feet by 10 feet, resulting in 35 linear feet. The formula is Linear Feet = Square Feet ÷ Width. Without knowing the width, you can't calculate the linear feet.

How many square feet is 1486 linear feet?

Square feet is an area, linear feet is a length. Sorry, the question has no meaning...


How many linear feet in 1200 square feet?

To determine linear feet from square feet, you need a specific width. Linear feet refers to a one-dimensional measurement, while square feet is two-dimensional. For example, if you have a width of 1 foot, 1200 square feet would equal 1200 linear feet. If the width is different, divide 1200 by that width to find the linear feet.


How many linear feet in a 1500 sq ft house?

To determine the linear feet of a house based on square footage, you need to know the dimensions of the house. For a simple rectangular house, if you assume an average width and length, you can calculate the perimeter. For example, a 1500 sq ft house that is 30 feet wide and 50 feet long would have a perimeter of 160 feet, which represents the total linear feet of the exterior walls.


How many linear feet are in 1280 square feet?

To convert square feet to linear feet, you need to know the width of the area. Linear feet refers to a one-dimensional measurement, while square feet is a two-dimensional measurement. For example, if the width is 10 feet, then 1280 square feet would equal 128 linear feet (1280 ÷ 10 = 128). Without a specific width, you cannot determine the linear feet from square feet alone.
