How many square feet is 36 × 42 ft?

Answer

A rectangle of 36 × 42 ft covers

1,512 square feet

Any rectangle 36 ft wide and 42 ft long covers 1,512 square feet. The order of the sides makes no difference — 36 × 42 and 42 × 36 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:

36 ft × 42 ft

=

36 × 42

=

1,512 square feet

36 × 42 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	1,512 square feet
Square meters	140.47 m²
Square yards	168 yd²
Acres	0.0347 acres
Perimeter	156 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.
