To figure out the square footage of a space, follow these simple steps:
How to Calculate Square Footage
1. Measure the Length and Width
- Use a tape measure to find the length and width of the area in feet.
- For example, if a room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide, note these measurements.
2. Multiply Length by Width
- Square footage = Length × Width
- Using the example: 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 square feet
3. For Irregular Shapes
- Break the space into smaller rectangles or squares.
- Calculate the square footage of each section separately.
- Add all the sections together to get the total square footage.
4. For Circular Areas
- Use the formula: Area = π × radius²
- Measure the radius (distance from the center to the edge).
- Example: radius = 5 ft, Area ≈ 3.1416 × 5² = 78.54 sq ft
If you want, I can help you calculate the square footage if you provide the measurements!
