That's impossible to answer; you din't say how many strips you used.

4" wide by 12" long

thats about half the size of a 8-1/2" by 11" sheet of typing paper
right? we are talking about a pretty small area

4" x 12 " = 48 sq inches that is the area

you can express it as square feet by dividing by 144

or .33 sq ft (1/3 of square ft)
