Its simple but you need the width of the material you are going to be working with.
LINEAR METRES (LM) = AREA OF SPACE / WIDTH OF MATERIAL REQUIRED(W)
For example:
I have a room 6 x 5 metres so the Area = 30 m2
I want to lay timber floorboard planks and their WIDTH per floorboard plank is 0.25 metres.
LM=A/W = 30/0.25 = 120
Therefore I will need 120 linear metres of the 0.25mtr wide planks.
The formula for calculating linear meters is Length x Width x Height for a rectangular object, and Circumference x Height for a cylindrical object. Linear meters are used to measure the length of an object in one dimension.
Meters and linear meters are the same measurement - the word linear is used to distinguish between that and a square meter - which is a unit of area.
A note about English spelling
In North American English - which is the version of the English language used as standard here on Answers.com - meter is the spelling for the SI unit for length, and meter is also the spelling for a measuring device.
However in British English, metre is the spelling for the SI unit for length, whereas meter is the spelling for a measuring device. The units' names are in fact FRENCH words, so "Metre" is correct French.
For example, "An energy meter is located three metres from ground level."
The question cannot be answered for two reasons:
- Different materials have different densities and, therefore, the same quantity of two materials will have different masses. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on a mass.
- A linear metre is a measure of length while weight is a measure of force. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
A metre and a linear metre are the same unit of measurement - the word "linear" is used merely to distinguish it from a square or cubic metre, of two or three dimensions.
Normally you would measure it, rather than calculate it. It is simply a length equivalent to 100 centimetres.

What is the abbreviation for linear meter?
The abbreviation for linear meter is m.
What is per linear meter?
Per linear meter refers to a unit of measurement that expresses a quantity of an item or material per one meter of length. It is commonly used to indicate the rate or cost of something in relation to each meter of length.
How many meters in a linear meter?
Ah, what a happy little question! You see, in the world of measurements, a linear meter is simply one meter long. So, to answer your question, there is one meter in a linear meter. Just like painting, it's all about taking things one happy little step at a time.
How many linear meter one running meter?
One linear meter is equal to one running meter. Both terms are used to measure the length of something in a straight line.
How many 800 meters in linear meters?
1 linear meter is equivalent to 1 800-meter length.
How do you convert meter to linear meter?
A meter is a linear measurement, therefore 1 meter is the same as 1 linear meter.
How long is a linear meter?
The same as a meter. It is called "linear" to distinguish it from square or cubic meter, but the "linear" can really be omitted.The same as a meter.

Is a linear meter equal to a meter?
A meter (metre) is a linear unit. there are no "non-linear" meters.
What difference square meter and linear meter?
A square meter is a measure of area; whereas a linear meter is a measure of length.
What is the abbreviation for linear meter?
The abbreviation for linear meter is m.
What is per linear meter?

How do you convert linear meters to meters I want to convert 3000 Linear meter to meter?
A linear meter is exactly the same as a meter. So, 3000 linear meters = 3000 meters. "Linear" is just an unnecessary adjective to be used only if there is some doubt whether you are refering to a length (meter, m), area (square meter, m2) or volume (cubic meter, m3).
How can you convert the meter into linear meter?
Insert the word "linear". They both refer to 1-metre lengths.
Square meter to linear meter?
You can't convert that.
How many linear meter in 1 cubic meter?
Linear meters (Length) can not be converted to cubic meters (Volume)
How square meter in a linear meter?
You can not convert that. Square meters and linear meters measure completely different things.
