This tool will help you calculate square footage by converting and including inches.
Square Feet Calculator
This calculator helps you find the area in square feet, including inches. Enter the length and width of the area in feet and inches, then click “Calculate” to see the result.
How to use:
- Enter the length of the area in feet in the “Length (ft)” field.
- If necessary, enter additional length in inches in the “Length (in)” field.
- Enter the width of the area in feet in the “Width (ft)” field.
- If necessary, enter additional width in inches in the “Width (in)” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to compute the area.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
How it calculates the results:
The calculator converts the inches to feet, adds them to the respective feet measurements, and then multiplies the final length and width to get the area in square feet. Specifically, it performs the following calculations:
- Convert length inches to feet: length_in / 12
- Add converted length feet to length feet: total_length = length_ft + (length_in / 12)
- Convert width inches to feet: width_in / 12
- Add converted width feet to width feet: total_width = width_ft + (width_in / 12)
- Multiply total length by total width to get the area in square feet: area = total_length * total_width
Limitations:
This calculator does not account for areas with non-rectangular shapes. Ensure all inputs are numerical values. The precision of the result is fixed to two decimal places.
