To determine the square footage of a square or rectangular area:

​

Multiply the length of the area by the width of the area. For example, if the length of the area is 100' and the width of the area is 50' the equation would look like this:

100' x 50' = 5,000 total square feet

​

To determine the square footage of a circular area:

​

Multiply the length of the radius of the circle by itself. (The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outside edge of the circle.)

​

After multiplying the radius of the circle by itself, multiply that total figure by 3.14. For example, if the radius of a circle is 10', the equation would look like this:

10' x 10' = 100', then 100' x 3.14 = 314 total square feet
