Square Footage Calculator FAQ

How do you calculate square footage of a rectangle?

To calculate the square footage of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. For example, a room that is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide has an area of 120 square feet (12 x 10 = 120). Make sure both measurements are in the same unit before multiplying.

How do you calculate the area of a circle in square feet?

To calculate the area of a circle, use the formula: Area = Pi x Radius^2 (approximately 3.14159 x Radius x Radius). For example, a circle with a radius of 5 feet has an area of about 78.54 square feet. If you have the diameter instead, divide it by 2 to get the radius first.

How do you convert square metres to square feet?

To convert square metres to square feet, multiply the area in square metres by 10.7639. Conversely, to convert square feet to square metres, multiply by 0.092903. For example, 50 square metres equals approximately 538.20 square feet (50 x 10.7639 = 538.20).

How do you calculate square footage of a triangle?

To calculate the area of a triangle, use the formula: Area = (Base x Height) / 2. The base and height must be perpendicular to each other. For example, a triangle with a base of 10 feet and a height of 8 feet has an area of 40 square feet ((10 x 8) / 2 = 40).

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

To calculate the area of a trapezoid, use the formula: Area = ((Base 1 + Base 2) x Height) / 2. Add the lengths of the two parallel sides (bases), multiply by the perpendicular height, then divide by 2. For example, with bases of 6 ft and 10 ft and a height of 5 ft: ((6 + 10) x 5) / 2 = 40 sq ft.
