To calculate the square footage of a room:
1. Measure the length of each wall in feet.
2. Multiply the length by the width. For a rectangular room, multiply the length of one wall by the length of the wall perpendicular to it.
3. Add the square footage of each wall. This gives you the total square footage of the floor.
For example, if a room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide, you would calculate it as:
Length of one wall: 12 feet
Width of perpendicular wall: 10 feet
12 ft x 10 ft = 120 square feet
So the total square footage of this rectangular room is 120 square feet.
For an irregularly shaped room, you may need to break it into sections and calculate the square footage of each section separately before adding them together.
