Sq feet is the length of the material multiplied by the width of the material. Linear feet is just the length of the material. So ,because roofing material is measured in the length measurement ( the width is pre-set coverage) if you are paying for a sheet that is 20ft long and covers 3ft you will be paying for 20 linear ft
IF you buy 4 x 20 ft sheets you will be be paying for 4 sheets and they will cover an area of 240 sq ft ( each sheet covers 60 sq ft so 4 sheets =240 sqft
to get the answer to your question you will have to know the length of the sheet and the width so that the area covered by a sheet can be known
Assuming that it is a roof area you want to cover, measure the length of the sheet required to cover the length of span ( gutter to ridge cap) and the width of the roof ( front to back) and divide that by the width of a sheet will give you the number of sheets required. Now multiply that number of sheets by the length of 1 sheet will give you the linear ft of the area to be covered.

What is 19" in linear inches

19" . Linear is length.
Linear feet (often called Lineal feet) are the same as regular feet. No conversion is necessary. If something is 6 linear feet tall, it is 6 feet tall. It should be noted, that the correct term is Linear, since Lineal refers to a line of ancestry, not to length.
Applies to inches also.

I got a 24in wide by 1/2in thick and 34 in length. How can I get the lenier ft

Linear feet is the total length of the board. Since your board is 34 inches long, almost 3 ft, it would be rounded up to 3 linear foot. (2.83 linear feet tobe exact)
if you wanted board foot, the Board ft is 5.67

30 ft to linear=

Linear means long. Height has nothing to do with linear. If I have 2 sidewalks, one 8 feet wide 30 feet long, other 2 feet wide 30 feet long. They are each 30 linear feet.

How many feet is 350 linear feet?

Linear feet are a measure of length (no different from feet); square feet measure area. You cannot simply convert between measures of different kinds of quantities;the connection between them will be specific to a particular problem.A practical example in which this question can arise is in buying countertops for a kitchen. Some materials are sold by the square foot; others (basically those that are extruded, so they come in standard widths) are sold by the linear foot. In order to compare the two, you need to compute the area and wall length for the countertop you want.You can't convert between the two. All you have to do is to make the appropriate measurements so you can calculate the price of each item.The terms used in the lumber industry are a bit confusing.There are two terms that I think you might be mixing up.A LINEAR FOOT is simply the length of a board. If you want to know the area or volume of the board,you need additional information. For instance, 6 linear feet of 1-by-12 has an area of 6 square feet (12 inches = 1 foot, times 6 feet), and it's 1 inch thick, so the volume is 1/2 cubic foot (6 square feet times 1/12 foot). But 6 linear feet of a 1-by-6 board would have half the area and half the volume.A BOARD FOOT is equivalent to one square foot of a 1-inch-thick board. In other words, it is a square-foot-inch (ft^2-in), or 1/12 cubic foot.Linear feet are used for the pricing of a single size such as two-by-fours. Board feet are used for larger lumber that you are more likely to want to compare directly with different size boards .To sum up, neither a linear foot nor a board foot can be converted directly to square feet. A linear foot is a linear (length) measure, and a board foot is a volume measure. You need to know your particular board to do anything more, such as find the area.an example with an" L" shaped countertop will betwo rectangles are 24 by 80 inches and 24 by 36 inches. Thus the area is: 24 * 80 + 24 * 36 = 24 * (80 + 36) = 24 * 116= 2784 sq. in.To get it in square feet, divide by 144:
2784 / 144 = 19.33 sq. ft.The linear measure of this countertop would be 60 + 80 = 140 inches = 140/12 feet = 11.67 feet

You would need to know the width to calculate it.
Linear feet is length in a specific width.
