how do you get the width and or length of a room when all you have is square footage?

Question

I have a program that's 62,110 square feet. I need the formula that will give me what length and width it takes to create that size. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here are some formulas:
Length * Width = square feet

Width * Length = square feet

Square feet / Length = Width

Square feet /Width = Length

Answer 2

That's not enough information to determine length and width. You need the square footage plus either the length or the width. Then you just divide square feet by length or width to get width or length. (That's if it's a rectangle.)

Answer 3

I'm confused. So far, it seems you don't have enough information to get the length/width. Now if you had a SQUARE room, you could find dimensions by merely seeking the square root of that 62,110.
Isn't something missing here?

Answer 4

with no other information, it is impossible to get the lngth and width of the room. They could be any tow numbers that multiply to 62110, be it 207.0333333 by 300 feet, or 62110 by 1.

Answer 5

N posibilities. Multiplying prime and non prime factors of 62110 gives you N different valid lengths and whidths.

More information is required to get a unique solution...

Answer 6

YOU CANT SEE THE DIFFERENT ROOMS OR CLOSET'S IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ONE BIG ROOM AND THERE IS SQUARE FOOTAGE AND QUBIC FOOTAGE SQ. FT. SHOWS THE FLOOR. QB. FT. SHOWS FLOOR TO CEILING.
YOU CAN FIND IT BASED ON 62,110 YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE LENGTH AND WIDTH.
TO GUESS YOU NEED TO MULTIPLY UNTIL YOU GET YOU NUMBER IT'S A RATHER LARGE BUILDING OR WAREHOUSE I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

Answer 7

If the room is a square it would make it a lot easier. Otherwise it could be anything!

Answer 8

L × W = 62,110
You have two unknowns but only one equation, so it can't be solved. You need one more equation that is not equivalent to this one, and whose only unknowns are L and/or W.
