For Rectangular or Square Spaces
Measuring the area of rectangular or square spaces is very easy. You can just:
- Measure the Length: Use your tape measure to measure the longest side of your space from end to end.
- Measure the Width: Next, measure the shortest side of your space from end to end.
- Calculate the Area: Multiply the length by the width to get the total square footage of your space.
For Circular Spaces
If your space is circular:
- Measure the Diameter: Measure the diameter of the circle (the distance across the circle through the center).
- Calculate the Radius: The radius is half of the diameter.
- Calculate the Area: The area of a circle is πr² sq ft (pi times the radius squared).
For Triangular Spaces
If your space is triangular, you’ll need to measure the base and the height of the triangle:
- Measure the Base: The base of the triangle is its bottom side. Use your tape measure to measure the length of the base from one end to the other.
- Measure the Height: The height of the triangle is the distance from the base to the top point of the triangle. Measure this distance.
- Calculate the Area: Multiply the base by the height and then divide by 2 to get the area in square feet.
