To figure out square feet, you need to measure the length and width of the area in feet and then multiply those two numbers together.
How to Calculate Square Feet
Step 1: Measure Length and Width
- Use a tape measure to find the length of the space in feet.
- Measure the width of the space in feet.
Step 2: Multiply Length by Width
- Square feet = Length (ft) × Width (ft)
Example:
If a room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide:
- Square feet = 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft
For Irregular Shapes:
- Break the area into smaller rectangles or squares.
- Calculate the square footage of each part.
- Add all the parts together to get the total square footage.
