convert the feet into inches. example 29ft = (29x12) = 348 inches. Once you know the dimension in inches follow the formula to figure out the total inches in the room: Length X width

1 sq. ft. is 12 inches on a side, which is 12 x 12 = 144 square inches. So 1080 x 144 is your answer. However, 29ft by 36ft is not 1080 sq. ft. It's 1044 sq. ft., so your answer is probably 1044 x 144. 30x36 = 1080. 29x36 = 1044.

a square foot is 12 X 12 inches, so you multiply 12 times 12 (144) then 29 feet by 36 feet, which is 1044, not 1080.... then 144 times 1044, which is 150,336 square inches in a room 36 X 29 ft.
sweetie pie is the only other person so far to notice that 29' X 36' is not 1080 sq ft, and also gave the correct answer for the number of square inches.

1080, 1 sq ft = 12x4= 48
what we know now- there are 48 inches in a sq ft
now just x 48 x 1080
There are 51840 inches in 1080 sq ft!
Good luck with the project!

The easiest way to understand this is to use inches from the very beginning, that is, instead of 29 feet, call it 348 inches and so on.

you don't divide, you multiply by 12 b/c there are 12 inches in a foot, so the room would be 348 by 432, or 150,336 sq. inches

There are 144 sq. in per sq. ft. not 12. 12X12=144.

A sq ft; is 144sq in. 12x12 = 144. so 144x1080--sq in.
