    here is a conundrum.....what am I missing.

    5 measurements (ie. countertops)

    29" x 47", 29" x 28", 29" x 71", 26" x 67", 24" x 66" - when I add all the numbers together, divide by 12" I get the feet multiply L x W = 265 square feet.....

    and yet, when I divide each section by 12", multiply LxW, I get approx. 60 square feet.....

    what the heck??

    1 Meeter =39 inches

    12 inches = 1 feet

    1 squarer feet =12in X12in

    so 1 square feet How many square inches? that is 12in X12in =144 inches

    if u measure length and width in inches of room square feet = Length X width /144(here 144 is constant value )

    if one room 4 meter length and 3 meter width how many square feet that room?

    it is easy to calculate

    we know 1 meter = 39 inches , so length is 4 meter that is 4X39in=156 in

    we got total length is 156 inches

    width = 3X39in= 117 inches

    so width 117 inched

    square feet = length X Width/144

    here Square feet = 156in X117 in /144= 126square feet

    so total romm is 126 square feet
