Linear means in a line. Therefore, one linear foot is just 12 inches measured along a straight line.

Linear feet and feet are the same measurement. Therefore, 1 foot is equal to 1 linear foot.

A measurement of area is impossible to convert into a linear measurement. The two units are therefore incompatible.
A linear foot is a straight-line measurement, rather than a sqare-foot measurement. A 2x4 that is five feet long would be five linear feet. Moreover, since a square is measured by its perimeter, a 5x5 square would be 20 linear feet (5+5+5+5).By comparison, its area would be measured in square rather than in linear feet. Consequently, its area would be 25 square feet (5x5). If the square were cubed, then its area would be 125 cubic feet (5x5x5).Linear foot is a term used to describe a measurement. It basically means something is being measured in one straight line. A linear foot still measures 12 inches.
This compares a linear measurement to a volumetric measurement. A foot is 12 inches and a cubic foot is 12 inches long x 12 inches wide x 12 inches high.
