How many square feet is 8 × 12 ft?

Answer

A rectangle of 8 × 12 ft covers

96 square feet

Any rectangle 8 ft wide and 12 ft long covers 96 square feet. The order of the sides makes no difference — 8 × 12 and 12 × 8 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:

8 ft × 12 ft

=

8 × 12

=

96 square feet

8 × 12 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	96 square feet
Square meters	8.92 m²
Square yards	10.67 yd²
Perimeter	40 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.
