A linear foot is distance. A square foot is area. One square foot is the area of some square tiles used on floors. Ten square feet is 1 foot x 10 feet or 2 feet x 5 feet. Don't confuse this with a 10 foot square which is 10 feet by 10 feet which equals 100 square feet.

A square foot is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.
There is no sensible answer to this question. A 10' by 10' is a measure of area (square foot), with dimensions [L2]. A linear foot is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information.
The foot is a linear measurement. You cannot convert a linear measurement to an area measurement.
