How to calculate linear square footage?
You cannot have linear square footage because: "linear" means the measurement is 1-dimensional. "square" means the measurement is 2-dimensional. The above two statements are mutually contradictory!
What is mutual exclusive in theology?
It's more of a philosophical term in general. It refers to two or more conditions which can't be true at the same time. For instance, the statements "There is a god." and "There is no god." are mutually exclusive.

In logic can you give an example of two statements that are technically contradictory along with a brief explanation?
In general logical terms, any two statements that claim something to be the case and also not to be the case are 'technically contradictory'; for example, 'The woman is Dorothy' and 'The woman is not Dorothy.' In each case, of course, the same person must be referenced and the same meaning of 'woman' and 'is' must be operative in each claim.

It is two propositions so related to each other that if either is true the other is false and if either is false the other must be true. If you were to say to someone "I cannot speak" that would be contradictory, because you were speaking in saying that.
What does it mean for a system to be consistent or inconsistent?
does it stay the same or not? Actually, a system is inconsistent if you can derive two (or more) statements within the system which are contradictory. Otherwise it is consistent. For example, Eucliadean geometry requires that given a line and a point not on that line, you can have one and only one line through the point which is parallel to the original line. However, you can have a consistent system of geometry if you assume that there is no such parallel line. This is known as the projective plane. You can assume that there will be an infinite number of parallel lines through a point not on the line. And again you can have a consistent system. Consistency or inconsistency has nothing whatsoever to do with time.

What is mutual exclusive in theology?
