How many linear feet converts to 1200 sq ft - Office Equipment & Supplies

11 linear feet
linear measurement is a length measurement
when you multiple the two measurements it becomes a square ft measurement
in this case 121 sq ft

You get square feet by multiplying linear feet with another linear feet. 18 sq.ft = 3 lin ft x 6 lin ft or 2 lin ft x 9 lin feet or 4,5 lin ft x 4lin feet.
Sq ft is used to quantify surface area where linear feet quantify distance but lin ft x lin ft gives you square ft (surface area)

Hi Mona:
I'd like to be able to help so will need to clarify the intent of your question. Bear with me while I explain.
- 264 sq ft is a measurement of area.
- Example: a room 11 ft wide by 24 feet long would have a floor area 11 X 24 = 264 sq.ft
- 264 linear ft is a distance measurement, and indicates the distance between 2 points.
- Example: A house that is 66 feet square has a perimeter of 264 linear ft. (4 x 66 = 264)

If you can take this information and apply it to your question, I should be able to give a clearer answer.
Hope this helps

cannot be done. linear feet is just one dimension(length) and square feet is two dimensions(i.e., length and width). almost like asking how long is a gallon.

Are you trying to convert 1,500 square feet to linear feet for wood flooring? You will need to know the width of the planks you are going to use in order to complete the formula; so multiply square feet times 12 and divide by the width of the wood (in inches) to get lineal feet.
Add 10% to that figure to compensate for waste cut outs and mistakes

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.

2 Linear feet of 6" Material would make 1 Sq Ft.
so 1200 linear feet should do it.

It equals zero square feet.
Linear feet is only one dimension (length). You need 2 dimensions to calculate square feet. In other words, you need *width* also.
But IF you're asking how many square feet is 9 linear feet (long) by 9 linear feet (wide), then the answer is 81.

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

if you are talking about a home it is huge. But sq. footage is calculated by multiplying width by depth{ or height}. a room 100' x 39' would be 3900 sq./ft. a 10'x10' is 100 sq./ft.
