How many feet is 40 square feet, bedroom wise?

Question

I'm looking to do foster parenting and it says that each child needs 40 square feet of their own living space. So what would that be?

Answer 1

4x10 , 8x5 it amounts to 4ft x10ft

Answer 2

Well...you figure square footage by multiplying the length of the room by the width of the room. A room that is 8 foot by 5 foot would be a 40 square foot room. A room that is 10 by 6 would be 60 square feet.

Answer 3

That would be:
4 ft by 10 ft (too narrow)
5 ft by 8 ft (pretty small)
or
6 ft by 6 2/3 ft (still pretty small)

My rule of thumb is each "person" (whether it be a child or adult) needs an area = or greater than 64 square feet [ 8 ft. by 8 ft. ] and this does not include storage/closet space.

Answer 4

not much. its a like a room maybe 8 ft by 5 feet. or 10 x 4

Answer 5

That would basically be any room where the length and width multiplied equal 40. For instance, that could be:
5x8
6x6.67

I guess if you were going to have more than one child in a bedroom, then the room would need to be twice that size.

I hope this helps!

Answer 6

yes but 6'x6' = 36 sq ft'
so 5' x 8 = 40sq ft.

they are talking about 2 kids per rm..

10' x 10 ' br 100 sq ft good for 2 small children.
and that is small.
12 yr old needs that..alone 100 sq ft.

Answer 7

Are you sure? 40square feet would be 10 times 4. Doesn't make any sense.

Answer 8

Your floor is 11.08333333 square yards which is 9.2671075 square meters. Get 10 sq meters of laminate to be on the safe side.

Answer 9

You sure you have the measurements right, because that's the size of a closet.

Answer 10

Hi. 40x1 if you can keep them walking.
