This tool calculates the total square footage of an area, including any additional inches, to help you measure spaces accurately.
How to Use the Square Foot Calculator
The Square Foot Calculator allows you to input dimensions in both feet and inches to accurately calculate the area in square feet. Follow these steps:
- Enter the length of the area in feet in the “Length (feet)” input box.
- Enter the remaining length in inches in the “Length (inches)” input box.
- Enter the width of the area in feet in the “Width (feet)” input box.
- Enter the remaining width in inches in the “Width (inches)” input box.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the calculated area in square feet displayed in the result box.
How it calculates the results
The calculator converts all dimensions to inches before calculating the area:
- Convert the length from feet to inches and add it to the value in inches:
- Total Length (inches) = (Length in feet * 12) + Length in inches
- Convert the width from feet to inches and add it to the value in inches:
- Total Width (inches) = (Width in feet * 12) + Width in inches
- Multiply the total length and width to get the area in square inches:
- Area (sq inches) = Total Length (inches) * Total Width (inches)
- Convert the area from square inches to square feet:
- Area (sq feet) = Area (sq inches) / 144
Limitations
This calculator assumes perfect rectangular shapes and does not account for any irregularities in the shape. Additionally, the precision of the calculated area depends on the accuracy of the input values.
