If the rectangle/square has alcoves etc then measure L X W as though all walls are full length and then take separate measurements of the alcoves and deduct.

If the room has a completely rectangular floor, then this is easy. Just measure the length of the room in meters and then the width of the room in meters, and multiply the two numbers together. If the room is not really a rectangle (due to corners that turn around doorways, etc.) then divide the floor up into two or more rectangles that cover the whole floor, measure these areas individually, and add them up.

Yep, like the others say, if the room is square or rectangular it's easy.... width in metres x length in metres = area in square metres.
For instance, if your room is 3.5 m wide and 4 m long, then the area is 3.5 x 4 = 14 m^2

If the room is rectangular, measure the width and the length; multiply W x L = area

Measure the width and the length and multiply them together. If you have an alcove in the room, measure to the furthest wall.

Do you want the area of floor or all the walls and the ceiling, too?
Measure the length and width of each rectangle and multiply to get the area.

Measure length (L) and breadth (B)
Area is then given by
A = L x B
Example
L= 5 m 40 cm = 5.4 m
B = 4 m 70 cm = 4.7 m
A = 5.4 x 4.7 m²
A = 25.4 m² (to 1 decimal place)

Measure the length and the width and multiply them to get its area. This solution applies only to rectangular-shaped rooms.

Measure the length of the room and times it by the width. Say 6metres x 4metres = 24sq metres.

well if it is a rectangle or square it is easy, just measure two walls. If not, then you have to break it up into simpler pieces you can measure and calculate the area.
