Fórmula y guía

Cómo se calcula

Square footage is an area, found by multiplying the two side lengths in feet. For a rectangular room, that's simply length times width.

1Measure the two sides in feet — here they are 12 ft and 16 ft.
2Multiply them: 12 × 16 = 192 square feet.
3To get square meters, multiply by 0.0929 → about 17.84 sq m.
4To get square yards, divide by 9 → 21.33 sq yd.
