How to Figure Square Feet
Calculating square feet is essential for various applications, including real estate, home improvement, and landscaping. To determine the square footage of a space, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Measure the Length and Width
Use a tape measure to find the length and width of the area you want to measure. Ensure that you measure in feet for accurate results. For example, if a room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide, you will use these dimensions in the next step.
Step 2: Apply the Formula
The formula to calculate square feet is:
Square Feet = Length x Width
Using the previous example, multiply 12 feet by 10 feet:
12 ft x 10 ft = 120 square feet
Step 3: Consider Irregular Shapes
If the area is irregularly shaped, divide it into smaller rectangles, calculate the square footage for each, and then sum them up to get the total square footage.
