Enter the square feet and board width into the calculator to convert the area to linear feet.
Square to Linear Feet Conversion Formula
The following formula is used to convert square feet to linear feet:
Linear Feet = (Square Feet * 12) / Board Width
Variables:
- Square Feet is the area in square feet (sq ft)
- Board Width is the width of the board in inches (in)
- Linear Feet is the length in feet (ft)
To calculate the linear feet, multiply the square feet by 12 and divide by the board width.
What is Square to Linear Feet Conversion?
Square to linear feet conversion is a process used to determine the length of material needed to cover a given area. This is particularly useful in construction, flooring, and other industries where materials are purchased in lengths but used to cover areas.
How to Calculate Linear Feet?
The following steps outline how to calculate linear feet using the given formula.
- First, determine the total square feet of the area you need to cover.
- Next, measure the width of the board you will use in inches.
- Use the formula from above: Linear Feet = (Square Feet * 12) / Board Width.
- Finally, calculate the linear feet by plugging in the values.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
