Determine length (linear) and how wide is it. Multiply the length times the width and this will give you the total area or square footage.
Here is another example: A product is sold by the 20 foot long (linear feet) roll. The specifications state that the product is 2 foot wide x 20 feet long. It is in fact 20 ft. x 2 ft. wide or 40 square feet per roll.
You cannot have linear square footage because: "linear" means the measurement is 1-dimensional. "square" means the measurement is 2-dimensional. The above two statements are mutually contradictory!
Multiplying length by width equals square footage
In order to calculate the square footage you need to find the length and the width of the room in feet. You multiply the length and the width to give you the square footage of the room
I think (hope) you mean square, not linear. Answer is 18 ft2
If you know the length ft.(linear) and you wish to know its area (sq. footage), you must also know the width. Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) equals area or sq. feet. Linear in this case refers to length.

Multiplying length by width equals square footage
You can't calculate linear footage based on square yardage alone. If you meant square footage it will cover 810 sq. ft..
In order to calculate the square footage you need to find the length and the width of the room in feet. You multiply the length and the width to give you the square footage of the room

Linear footage is feet in a line. as in, not square footage, just length or height. take a 5 foot square: its perimeter is measure in linear feet (20 linear feet) 5+5+5+5 Its area is measured in square feet (25 square feet) 5 x 5 A 5-foot cube would be measured in cubic feet (125 cubic feet) 5 x 5 x 5
If you know the length ft.(linear) and you wish to know its area (sq. footage), you must also know the width. Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) equals area or sq. feet. Linear in this case refers to length.
Divide the square footage by the width in feet. Example: 20 sq. ft roll of material is made up of 10 linear feet by 2 feet in width. 20 square feet divided by 2 feet wide equals 10 linear feet and 2 feet wide. For linear feet ask yourself how long is it. 100 sq. ft. 1 foot wide would be 100 linear feet long.
A 8' fence will have a higher cost per foot than a 6' will. Most quotes will be based on linear footage + gates and extras.
Since you know the length you know the linear footage. Next: measure the width and multiply the width by the length, this will give you the area or sq. footage. Length x width. For example: a room 8 ft. long x 10 ft. wide would be 64 square feet. The length is important because your carpet at the big box store is 10 feet wide and you only need 8 linear feet. In this case the square footage is: 8 ft. x 10 ft. = 80 sq. feet.
Linear footage is a one dimensional measurment. Board footage is volume. one board foot is 1 inch thick by 12 inches square. 1" x 12" x 12" = 144 cubic inches of wood or one board foot.
There's no way to calculate that just from square footage.
