Square footage is a measurement of area expressed in square feet. It's commonly used in real estate, construction, and interior design to quantify the size of a space.
The calculator uses standard geometric formulas to calculate area:
Rectangle: \( area = length \times width \)
Triangle: \( area = \frac{base \times height}{2} \)
Circle: \( area = \pi \times radius^2 \)
Explanation: Each shape has its own formula for calculating area based on its geometric properties.
Details: Calculating square footage is essential for determining material quantities, space planning, property valuation, and construction projects.
Tips: Select the shape you want to calculate, then enter the required dimensions in feet. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I measure irregular shapes?
A: Break them down into regular shapes (rectangles, triangles), calculate each area separately, then sum them up.
Q2: What's the difference between square feet and linear feet?
A: Square feet measures area (length × width), while linear feet measures length only.
Q3: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For most purposes, measuring to the nearest inch (0.08 feet) is sufficient.
Q4: Can I calculate area in other units?
A: Yes, but all measurements must be in the same units before calculating.
Q5: How do I convert square feet to square meters?
A: Multiply square feet by 0.092903 to get square meters.
