Linear Feet and square feet are different units of measure. Linear feet (or simply feet) measure the length of an object or the perimeter of something, such as the length of a board or the total length of the four walls around a room. Square feet measure the area of an object, such as the total floor area of a room. To calculate linear feet, all you have to do is measure the length of the object. To calculate the area (square feet) of a square or rectangular object, multiply the length of two of the adjoining sides. Areas of objects, such as circles, triangles, or irregularly shaped objects can be calculated using unique formulas or dividing the irregular shapes into smaller parts and adding the areas of the smaller parts together.

To calculate the square footage of a rectangular area, you multiply the length by the width in feet. For example, if a room is 10 feet long and 12 feet wide, the square footage would be 10 x 12 = 120 square feet.

Square feet is the unit of measure for Area of a two dimensional shape like a square, triangle or circle. The Area of a square or rectangle is length times width (A = L x W). The Area of a triangle is one-half times base times height (A = ½bh). The Area of a circle is pi times the radius squared (A = Πr²).

Multiply two known measurements, for example 10 feet and 15 feet, by each other. So, 10' x 15' = 150 square feet.

the formula for square feet is the length of the object * the width of the object.

Convert your length and width (or base and height) to feet first, then multiply the two values. This will give you the area in square feet.

If you have something that's one foot high, and covering an area of one square foot, then you have one cubic foot.

Measure in inches length and width. Multiply L x W. And then divide by 12. This will give you square footage
