Example: 5' 12", 6' 1" (picked stupid easy numbers)
1) Multiple the feet terms: 5 * 6 = 30 sqft 2) Multiply the inch terms: 12 * 1 = 12 sq inches 3) Convert inches to feet by the conversion 12"/1' X 12"/1' = 144 sqin/1sqft 4) 12 sqin * 1sqft/144 sq in; check dimensionally so it works out in sq ft. 5) Add 30 sqft + 12/144 sqft 6) Get it in the form of 30.xyz or whatever sqft or simplify the fraction Yep. Wrong answer. |

Easiest way is to convert the two measurements into inches, multiply them together, then divide by 144 sq in/sq ft to get it into square feet.
Example: consider a room that is 10'5" long by 8'9" wide. This converts to: length: 10 ft * 12 in/ft + 5 = 125 inches. width: 8*12+9 = 105 inches Area = length * width = 125 inches * 105 inches = 13125 sq inches. 13125 sq inches/144 = 91.14 sq ft. |
