this is for the math majors????

Question

say you are redoing your kitchen floor and you wanted to know how many SQUARE FEET it is....How do you calculate that????

Answer 1

Ummm an easy way to do this is look at the ceiling above your kitchen and get the width and lengh. Multiply these 2 numbers together and that yours kitchen's square footage.

I say the ceiling because invariably there will be stuff on the kitchen that will make it difficult to take a nice easy clean measurement.

Answer 2

I'd mentally break the floor down into a couple of connecting rectangles, to get round the edges of my cabinets and other places. Then I'd get the tape measure and measure the length and width of these rectangles in feet, multiply the length and width together to gett he area of a given rectangle in square feet, then add up the areas of all the rectangles to get the total area of the floor.

Answer 3

Length times width

Answer 4

Length times width

Answer 5

use a 12 inch shoe and times the length and width to determine square feet and add 10 percent for foot oder

Answer 6

Mine is a pentagon, so I would divide into smaller sections (two rectangles and a triangle) and measure each of those. That's if I wanted to find the square footage of the floor. If I wanted to find the sq ft of the room itself, I would check the blueprints, which are available at the condo office.

Answer 7

I know!

Since you were the one re-doing the kitchen floor, of course there will be two (2) square feet --> 1 LEFT SQUARE FOOT, 1 RIGHT SQUARE FOOT...

Answer 8

Measure length and width and multiply them together.

Answer 9

make a rough figure on paper indicating dimensions of kitchen
divide it in easy figures '
find area of each
Add them up
