How do you find the square footage of a room?

[Edit]

Answer

If the room is not a complete square, like if it has jogs in it then you want to find each box seperately by multiplying the length of the room by the width. Do this for every jog in the room then subtract each jogs' sq/ft from the sq/ft of the entire room and that with give you the rooms final sq/ft.

Answer

Very simple - measure one side, then measure the side next to it and multiply one by the other.

Answer

measure LENGTH x WIDTH = square footage

Answer

It is very simple if the sides envolved are say a square or rectangle. If the area has for example an angular wall, measure and calculate the rectangle areas first. To get the square footage of the floor at the angled wall, measure the length and width as if the diagonal wall split your rectangle from oposite corners of your rectangle. In other words: length times width divided by two equals the square footage of this area. Then add it to all your other calculated rectangles.
