The area of a surface, such as a floor or plot of land, is measured in square feet. There are numerous possible configurations for a 1,000-square-foot area.
There are numerous ways to compute the square footage of an area, depending on its shape. Multiplying the width by the length yields the square footage of a square or rectangular space.
A room that is 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, for instance, would fill 1,000 square feet. A triangular space with one right angle, 40 feet in length, and 50 feet in breadth may also occupy 1,000 square feet.
