• Area of a wall: Multiply the width of the wall by its height. So one of the walls is 80 square feet (10 feet wide x 8 feet high) and the other is 96 square feet (12 feet x 8 feet). If you need the total square footage of the walls - for figuring paint or wallpaper for example - you can simplify the calculation by first adding all the wall lengths together, then multiplying by the height (10 + 12 + 10 + 12 = 44 x 8 = 352 square feet of total wall area).

• Area in square yards: There are 3 feet in a yard, so there are a total of 9 square feet in a square yard (3 x 3). To calculate the number of square yards in our example room, which you might want to do when ordering carpet, divide the total square footage of the floor by 9 (120 square feet / 9 = 13.33 square yards).

•Area in square inches: There are 12 inches in a foot, so there are 144 square inches in a square foot (12 x 12). To convert an area from square feet into square inches, simply multiply by 144. (Our room has 17,280 square inches).
