How many feet are in a square feet?

Answer 1

a square foot has 4 feet in it. one foot per side

---- To lessen confusion...

Actually, the perimeter of a square foot is 4 feet. One square foot is one foot wide by one foot tall (1 ft x 1 ft = 1 sq ft).

Actually you can't measure how many feet are in a square foot since one is distance and the other area.

for example, a rectangle that is 0.25ft by 4 ft would have a area of one square foot and a perimeter of 8.5 feet. there are an infinite combination of perimeters that would make up a square foot. There is only one (as mentioned above, 1ft x 1ft) that is an actual square.
