Best Answer

The number of lineal feet required is the perimeter. Unfortunately, it is impossible to convert from the area of a shape to its perimeter.

First of all, the shape of the area is not known. A circular shape with an area of 170 sqft would have a perimeter of 46.22 feet (to 2 dp). That is the smallest possible perimeter. If you squashed the circle into an ellipse you could increase the perimeter without limit (see similar argument for rectangles, below).

Other shapes, have different perimeters. Within each polygonal shape, there is great variation. For eaxmple, all the following rectangles have an area of 170 sq feet, but look at their perimeters, P!

10ft *17ft (P=54ft)

1ft *170ft (P=342ft)

0.1ft *1700ft (P=3400.2ft)

0.01ft *17000ft (P=34000.02ft)

0.001ft *170000ft (P=340000.002ft)

Hopefully, you get the picture.

How many lineal feet of cove base floor trim will be required if your floor area is 675 square feet?

In order to determine the length of cove trim required you need to know the perimeter of the room. Unfortunately, the area of a shape does not provide enough information to determine its dimensions.First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if, you know that it is a rectangle, there are infinitely many possible answers: ranging from a nearly square area to an extremely long, very thin strip.
