This is not a straight forward question. Square footage represents the area of something. Linear footage is a measure along a line. If the linear footage of a square were 16feet (4 feet on each side the area would be 4x4=16 square ft.
If a rectangle the area would be length time width (one long length times one short length)

Fold your measuring device into a square then see what it read. This your Square Footage.
