Square Footage Calculator
When planting, seeding, sodding or fertilizing a lawn you will often need to determine the square footage of an area.
Below are a couple examples to help you determine the total square feet of an area:
- To determine total square footage of a square or rectangular area:
multiply the length of the area by the width of an area. For example: If the length of an 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:
Start by 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.) For example, if the diameter of a circle is 20' across, the radius of a circle is 10'.
After multiplying the radius of a circle by itself, multiply that total figure by 3.14. For example, if you determine that 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
