Question from Vickie: How do I change 10 linear feet into square feet? |
Hi Vickie,
You cannot change a linear measurement into a measurement of area (square feet) without another dimension like width. For example, the area of a rectangle
Area = length x width
You cannot determine the area if you only have the length.
Hope this helps,
Janice
