Check to see if you have 12-inch floor tiles.  If you do, you can use them as a guide.

12 inches X 12 inches *2   \nGo from south to north 12 inches then east to west 12inches,and repeat once, now there between you have a square foot.

Here's how to make the conversion, this will be handy to know at test time. \n\nFirst we'll say assume you were given the conversion from meters to feet. \n\n1 m = 3.28084 ft\n\nNext to find square feet per meter we square the conversion factor.\n\n1 m^2 = 3.028084^2 ft\n\n1 m^2 = 10.4639 ft^2\n\nFinally, plug the number from the question the conversion factor making sure that the units will cancel out correctly, leaving you with and answer in square feet. \n\n120 m^2 * 10.4639 ft^2/m^2 = 1291.67 ft^2\n\nGood Luck.

It depends on the type of appraisal.  If the income approach is used the only measurement of square footage you will be using is how much is charged to tenants per square foot.  So either ext. or int. may be used, the main focus is how much income the property recieves.  Look for things called net leasable area or gross leasable area.  In the sales comparison approach they will use other properties to value your property.  One thing they will look at is square footage, whichever measurement they use, ext. or int., they have to use the same measurement on all properties.  In the cost approach they will use both types of measurements because in this approach they are trying to see how much it would cost to replicate the property.  My best advice would be to contact a local appraiser who deals in commercial properties and ask them.  Some of them won't help but after a few calls you'll be able to find someone who will.

Of course, it really depends on what lengths, masses and time increments you are trying to measure and why.  The key is to have a foundation reference point with each measurement.  But here are some ideas:\n\nLength:  A piece of string or a piece of paper is good tool.  If you need to know exactly how many feet something is, a common record album is 12 inches across ( 1 foot) or a standard floor tile which is 12 inches from one flat side to its' opposite.  Use this as your foundation length of your string.  For long distance you can guage the length of your footstep using the above method, then count your footsteps when walking constistently, or use the odometer in your car.  Not a precise technique but approximate.\n\nMass:  A bucket filled to the top with water, placed inside another bucket that can catch spilled water.  Let's say you want to find the mass of a bowling ball.  Simply place the bowling ball into the bucket filled to the top with water, and whatever water it displaces (and is caught in the second bucket), is its mass (example: 1 gallon).  Repeat these steps to find out the mass of other things like your dog.  It's not an exact science but it's a basis for comparison at home as long as you keep using the same buckets.\n\nTime:   The sun is always good for this since our clocks are based on exposure to it due to rotation of the Earth every 24 hours, and our revolution around it once a year.  It's how sundials work.  You use a shadow.  You can mark the position of a shadow with a pen or a scratch, then observe (and mark) how the shadow has changed at a later moment.  When sunlight is not available, candles are good to observe the passage of time in a similar way as they burn and melt, as long as you keep using the same kinds of candles.

Square Footage is the area.  So if you want to put a piece of carpet in an area you would look at sqft.\n\nExample you have a booth that is 5 foot X 4 foot  you would need 20 sqft of carpet 5x4=20sqft\n\nLinear Feet is a straight line around the booth.  So if you wanted to hang lights around your booth you would want to know the linear feet.\n\nIf your booth measures 5 foot X 4 foot you would need 18 linear feet.  2 sides are 5 foot and 2 sides are 4 foot. or 5+4+5+4 = 18 linear feet.

A mile is a linear measurement (length) while 1000 sq. ft. would be a two dimensional measurement (length x width) so it's pretty hard to compare the two.\n\nYou can compare 1000 sq. ft. to a square mile, which is 27,878,400 sq. ft. so it is approximately 0.0036% of a square mile.

Length times width. A square measuring 2 feet by 2 feet is four square feet.

a cube has six sides: top, bottom, front, back, left and right.\n\nIf each edge is 12 inches (1 foot) then each side is 1foot by 1 foot\nso 1 square foot.\n\nThe total surface area is 6 square feet.

Lineal feet, same as linear feet, means feet in a straight line.\n\nYou'll need to just multiply the linear feet by the width of the board to get square feet.\n\nIf you have 10 linear feet of wood, and the wood is 1 foot wide, you have 10 X 1 = 10 square feet of wood.\n\nso for your calculation its 4*13 = 52 square feet. (12" in 1') but 13 lineal feet

Acre is a measurement of area; therefore it is calculated by multiplying length with breadth. Thus, the word square will always be used. Such as square meter, square yards square inches and square kilometers etc.\nWhile calculating an area of a given place elevation is not taken in account. \nNow, the following table will help you to understand The ACRE you have in mind.\ni) 144 inches = 1 square foot= 12inches multiplied by 12 inches.\nii) 9 square feet = 1 square yard = 3feet multiplied by 3feet. (3feet = 1yard).\niii) 4840 square yards = 1 Acre.Since acre it self is an area measurement only; the word squre is not used

A square foot is an actual square measuring 12 inches in length on each of it's four sides.

5 feet 3 inches. Divide 160 by 2.54 to get the amount of inches. Then divide by 12 to figure out how many feet. The remainder is the amount of inches.

You don't. Feet are a length measurement, and cubic feet measure volume. If I had a cube 2 feet on a side, the volume would be (2)(2)(2) = 8 cubic feet.\n\nWhen you multiply feet by feet by feet, you get cubic feet. Funny how that works :)\n\nHope that helped.\n\nUMRmathmajor

1100 oops heres the method.....I hope.....  30ft x 9ft = 270 sq ft\ndivide  29700 by 270 = 1100....aarrghhhh   110.........

Cut up little squares and stack them up until you get to a quarter inch or some measurable amount.  Then count the number of sheets and do some basic division to determine a single sheet thickness.
