To compute the linear meter of a fence, measure the total length of the area you want to enclose. This involves adding together the lengths of all the sides of the fence. If the area is rectangular, use the formula: linear meters = 2 × (length + width). For irregular shapes, sum the lengths of each side individually to get the total linear meters required.
Add the length, width, and height.
Linear units are used for perimeter because perimeter measures the total length around a shape, which is a one-dimensional measurement. In contrast, area measures the extent of a surface in two dimensions, requiring the multiplication of two linear measurements (length and width), resulting in square units. This distinction helps accurately represent the different dimensions involved in each measurement.
Determine length (linear) and how wide is it. Multiply the length times the width and this will give you the total area or square footage. Here is another example: A product is sold by the 20 foot long (linear feet) roll. The specifications state that the product is 2 foot wide x 20 feet long. It is in fact 20 ft. x 2 ft. wide or 40 square feet per roll.
