To calculate the square footage of a countertop:
\[ SF = L \times W \]
Where:
Countertop square footage refers to the total surface area of a countertop, measured in square feet. It is calculated by multiplying the length and width of the countertop. This measurement is crucial when planning for the installation of a new countertop, as it determines the amount of material needed. It also plays a significant role in cost estimation since most countertop materials like granite, quartz, marble, etc., are priced per square foot. Therefore, knowing the square footage of your countertop allows you to budget accurately for your project. Additionally, it helps in understanding the space available for placing appliances or doing meal preparation.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ SF = 10 \times 3 = 30 \text{ square feet} \]
The square footage of the countertop is 30 square feet.
