Square feet (sq ft) is a unit of area measurement, representing the area of a square with sides of one foot. Linear feet (linear ft) is a unit of length measurement, representing a straight line of one foot.
The formulas to convert between square feet and linear feet are:
To convert from square feet to linear feet:
\[ \text{Linear Feet} = \frac{\text{Square Feet}}{\text{Width (feet)}} \]
To convert from linear feet to square feet:
\[ \text{Square Feet} = \text{Linear Feet} \times \text{Width (feet)} \]
Consider a scenario where you have 120 square feet and a width of 10 feet:
Using the formula to convert from square feet to linear feet:
\[ \text{Linear Feet} = \frac{120}{10} = 12 \text{ linear feet} \]
This means 120 square feet with a width of 10 feet is equal to 12 linear feet.
