How many square feet is 48 × 55 ft?

Answer

A rectangle of 48 × 55 ft covers
2,640 square feet

Any rectangle 48 ft wide and 55 ft long covers 2,640 square feet. The order of the sides makes no difference — 48 × 55 and 55 × 48 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:

48 ft × 55 ft

=

48 × 55

=

2,640 square feet

48 × 55 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 2,640 square feet
Square meters 245.26 m²
Square yards 293.33 yd²
Acres 0.0606 acres
Perimeter 206 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.
