How To Get The Square Area Of A Floor

For a square or rectangular area measure the width and length in feet.

How to get the square area of a floor.

If you have on oddly shaped area such as an l shape split it into square or rectanglualar sections and treat them as two separate areas. Typically it states the square footage for the total space and provides a breakdown of that square footage by living area within the building or home. Add the calculations together to get the total square footage. The way to calculate a rectangular area is by measuring the length and width of your area then multiplying those two numbers together to get the area in feet squared ft 2.

Calculating square footage of your area. Divide the space into smaller sections. Square footage per box will depend on the type of floor and manufacturer. Floor plans are drawn to scale in comparison to the space being created by the plan.

If your measurements aren t in feet convert them to feet first using the instructions below or the length converter. In this case to calculate the square footage accurately you may need to divide the space into separate areas. Measure each section separately and calculate the square footage of each. This will differ floor to floor.

A room that is 10 feet by 12 feet for example provides 120 square feet of living space. Divide each figure by 12 to get feet measurement. By default revit computes the room area using the wall finish as the boundary.
