A linear foot is a length 12 inches long, the length of a 12 inch ruler or a 12 inch long piece of string for example.
A square foot could be a square having a length of 12 inches on each side, it could be a rectangle having a length of 36 inches and a width of 4 inches, or it could be a circle, a triangle, or any other shape enclosing 144 square inches of area.
There can be no equivalence. A linear foot is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a square foot is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
A linear foot is a measure of length in the Imperial system of weights and measure. 12inches = 1 foot.
A square foot is a measure of area in the Imperial system of weights and measure. 12inches x 12 inches = 144 sq. ins = 1 sq. foot.
NB To add A cubic foot is a measure of volume in the Imperial system of weights and measure. 12inches x 12 inches x 12 inches = 1728 cu. ins = 1 cu. foot.
It is impossible to compare the two units. A square foot is a unit of area. A foot is a unit of distance. The two units are therefore incompatible.
The conversion is impossible.
A square metre is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.
A square foot is a unit of area. A foot is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.
480 inches are in 40 linear feet.
It is impossible to convert square units into linear units as this requires losing a dimension. An area can have any shape you desire: all that matters is that its area is the required value. Examples: a rectangle of area 15,000 sq ft can have dimensions of 3 ft by 5,000 ft or 1 linear yard by 1666 2/3 linear yards (with a perimeter of 3335 1/3 linear yards); or a rectangle can be 60 ft x 250 ft or 20 linear yards by 83 1/3 linear yards (with a perimeter of 206 2/3 linear yards); Or the area could be enclosed by a circle of radius approx 23.03 linear yards (with a perimeter of approx 144.72 linear yards; Or the surface area of a sphere with a radius of approx 11.52 linear yards (with no perimeter). It can be said that a linear yard has zero width, therefore there are 15000 sq ft / 0 ft = infinitely many linear feet = infinitely many linear yards.
20. "Linear" is an unnecessary adjective. If 'Feet' is not preceeded by "square" or "cubic" it refers to a line, or one-dimensional measurement.

This cannot be answered since a linear foot is a measure of length while a square foot is a measure of area.
You cannot. There is no such thing as a linear square foot: the term contradicts itself. A linear measure is a measure of distance or length. A square measure (eg square foot) is a measure of area. It is not possible to have a composite measure.
Linear is a straight line measurement and square feet requires a length and width.
No - a square foot is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of distance.
They are two different things. A square foot is a measure of area. A linear foot is a measure of length or distance.
Yes - a foot is a linear foot. They mostly use the term linear foot when you might confuse the meaning with square feet. For example a roll of carpeting might be sold by the linear foot .
A square unit is a measure of area, a foot is a linear unit. There are no area units in any linear measure.
A linear foot is a unit of length. A square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
A linear foot is a unit of distance. A square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
There isn't one Linear is only length one foot long square foot is an area with width X breadth measured in inches or feet equaling 1 square foot ,
A linear foot is a unit of length. A square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
