Linear Feet to Square Feet Calculator
Convert linear feet to square feet instantly. Perfect for flooring, fencing, painting, and material estimation projects. Calculate area from linear measurements.
Step 1: Linear Feet Measurement
Understanding Linear Feet
Linear feet measures length in a straight line, while square feet measures area. To convert linear feet to square feet, multiply linear feet by width (in feet). For inches, convert to feet first by dividing by 12.
Step 2: Calculation Options
Formula: Linear Feet × Width (in feet) = Square Feet
Example: 100 linear feet of material that is 12 inches (1 foot) wide equals 100 square feet. For 6-inch width: 100 linear feet × 0.5 feet = 50 square feet.
