Answer 2

A linear foot is essentially the same as saying one foot. In most DIY (do it yourself) stores such as home depot or Lowe's, linear footage is used as a way to advertise or price a product that comes in non-standard lengths. One common example is crown molding or carpet. For example, a store might sell you a 10-foot-long strip of carpet for 10 dollars, or a 15.30-foot-long strip for $15.30, etc.
So basically, to calculate linear footage - simply measure the wall(s) (molding being the example) and add together. So a room measuring in at 10 by 12 would be 10ft + 10ft + 12ft +12ft = 44 Linear feet. **Note: Square footage is calculated by multiplying length times width.

Answer 3

Linear footage is basically the measurement of whatever it is your measuring. For example, if you measure a piece of moulding and it measures 8 ft long, then it's 8 linear feet.

Answer 4

Linear foot is just another way of saying 1foot. It means one foot in a line vs a square ft which is 1 linear ft long x 1 linear ft wide

Answer 5

40 a million/8 by making use of ninety 5/8 is larger than merely about all doorways, if the measurements are in inches. have you ever added dimensions? if so, you want to bypass back and calculate the parts in my view, then upload the parts.

Answer 6

if your room is 10 feet by 12 feet, then multiply the 10x12, and you would have 120 square feet.

NOTE: if you are gong to be doing any roofing, it is measured in squares... there is 100 square feet to a square, and 3 bundles of shingles makes a square.

linear feet is the measurement.
