How many square feet is 20 × 40 ft?

Answer

A rectangle of 20 × 40 ft covers
800 square feet

Any rectangle 20 ft wide and 40 ft long covers 800 square feet. The order of the sides makes no difference — 20 × 40 and 40 × 20 are the same area.

How the Square Footage Is Calculated

Square feet = width (ft) × length (ft)

Area is a product, not a sum: a rectangle holds as many one-foot squares as its width multiplied by its length. Put this rectangle into it:

20 ft × 40 ft

=

20 × 40

=

800 square feet

20 × 40 ft in Other Units

The same rectangle expressed the other common ways. The perimeter is the figure to use for skirting, edging or fencing — and it is what tells this rectangle apart from other sizes with the same area.

Square feet 800 square feet
Square meters 74.32 m²
Square yards 88.89 yd²
Perimeter 120 ft
Note: this is floor area. Wall area is height × length for each wall, and a room that is not a plain rectangle has to be split into rectangles first and added up.
