The Area of a Floor calculator computes the area of a floor using the floor length(l) and width(w).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Area of a Floor (A): The calculator returns the area of the floor in square feet. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible unit via the pull-down menu.
The formula for the area of a rectangular floor is:
A = L x W
where:
Most rooms are simple rectangles with a length and a width. The only common departure are rooms with bump-outs. Some bump-outs are angular and taper down from an opening. Some bump-outs have squared corners. To compute the square feet of these floors are simple geometry based on the measurements of the main floor and the bump-out dimensions.
To compute the area of a floor with a different shape (e.g., circular, oval, or polygon), see the Area Calculator.
