To figure out square feet, you need to measure the length and width of the area in feet and then multiply those two numbers together.

How to Calculate Square Feet

Step 1: Measure Length and Width

  • Use a tape measure to find the length of the space in feet.
  • Measure the width of the space in feet.

Step 2: Multiply Length by Width

  • Square feet = Length (ft) × Width (ft)

Example:

If a room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide:

  • Square feet = 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft

For Irregular Shapes:

  • Break the area into smaller rectangles or squares.
  • Calculate the square footage of each part.
  • Add all the parts together to get the total square footage.
