I don't have the square inches just the measurement of my tape measure.
Plain old inches to square feet.

It's a trick question, but I'll explain why. Inches is a linear measurement, and square feet is area. What you need to do first is figure out what area you want to measure. Measure it in fractions of feet (for example, 5 inches would be 5/12 feet).
Now figure out your area. If it's a rectangle multiply the two sides together. (Feet times feet equals square feet.)
Hope that helped!
