how do u find the square foot of something?

Question

i am meeting a deadline and iam really bad at math!

Answer 1

height by width measured in feet

Answer 2

Multiply the length by the width. If you have a room that is 12 feet by 8 feet then the square footage is 96 feet. 12 x 8 = 96 I hope this helped. Good luck on your deadline and God bless!

Answer 3

It depends on the shape. Most of the answers here assumed you were talking about a square or rectangle, so that's the formula they gave. For a square or rectangle, you just multiply the width in feet by the height in feet.

Other shapes: Triangle. Square footage = half the width times the height.

Circle. Square footage = the radius (the distance from the center to the edge) squared, times 3.14

Answer 4

You multiply its width in feet by length in feet.

Example: Length = 6 feet, width = 5 feet: area = 30 square feet

Answer 5

square foot...

if you had an area that was 30' x 30' big (flat surface, then the sq foot is 30 x 30)

if its a spacial area 30' x 30' x 12' than its 30 x 30 x 12... all you do is multiply the figures.

Answer 6

Length * Width

Answer 7

For squares and rectangles multiply length with width (also called breadth).
Make sure length and width are mentioned in feet (or foot).
else convert them to express them in feet (or foot)

Additional details that you may not need to know presently:
For circlular objects multiply pi with square of its radius

Note that radius is half of its diameter

Answer 8

You take the length by the width.

i.e. If a room is 10ft by 15 ft, 10 X 15 = 150sq ft

Answer 9

Ok im probably stupid but ill just assume u mean square rOOT of sumthing.

The are many methods depending:
1. Calculator ^.5 is square root
2. Approximation
3. Calculus

Answer 10

Length times width (in feet)
or
Length times width (in inches) divided by 144
