What is the square footage of a 12 x 16 room?

Remember, the input can only be in feet (ft), inches (in), yards (yd), centimetres (cm), millimetres (mm) and metres (m) but never a combination of two different units!

Area = Side length x Side length Length (drop down ft, in, yd, cm, mm, m) Length (drop down ft, in, yd, cm, mm, m)

Price per unit (drop down ft2, in2, yd2, cm2, mm2, m2)

Technically, it is not correct to talk about the square footage formula; we should rather talk about area formula. However, as long as we understand that a square footage formula is just another way to say that we will take an area formula and apply it using square feet, I think we can all agree the precise technical term doesn't matter much here.

The square footage formula is different depending on the shape of the object we want to calculate the area for. The simplest and most common case is the square, or, more generally, the rectangle. For these polygons, the formula is as simple as taking the length of two adjacent sides in feet and multiplying them together. Since we are working with a rectangle, we know that taking two next sides is the same as taking the height and the width of it. If we name these two sides A and B, the other two necessarily must have the same dimensions as A and B, respectively.

• square_footage = length_A * length_B

This might sound like a simple mathematical formula, but it is precisely how to measure the square footage of a rectangular room in real life. We just need to measure two consecutive sides in feet and multiply the values together. This square footage formula is, in fact, the same as the one used in the area of a rectangle calculator, but, in case of this calculator, used to find square footage instead of calculating polygons.

Not all rooms are perfect squares or rectangles, and it becomes more tricky to calculate square footage in such a situation. If the room is almost rectangular, one can get a pretty good approximation just by considering it as a rectangular and performing a similar calculation as we have seen before. But when the shape of the room (or whatever you want to measure) is far from rectangular, we definitely recommend using the corresponding Omni calculator for that shape,e.g., it could be a triangle area calculator, the area of a circle calculator, or any other shape.

Note that these calculators for geometrical shapes can calculate areas in almost any unit you would wish for. This means that you can convert from acres to sq ft, to square meters, to square feet, and so on, using the same procedure that we have described in the previous section.

(251 square meters = 2,701.74151 square feet). Multiply square meters by 10.7639104 to get square feet.

Generally 12×16 means 12 feet by 16 feet room.

Area of a Room = Length × Width = __ Square Unit

= 12 ft  ×  16 ft = 192 square feet

In this article we will show you how to calculate the square feet of an 12x16 room or area and also let you calculate how much your project might cost based on a price per square foot (which is a common thing for household jobs).

You can use this guide to calculate the square footage and cost of a building, floor, walls, and more.

The calculation to work out the square feet of both a square and rectangular room like 12x16 is very simple. All you need to do is multiply the length by the width.

This means the answer is:

12x16 room = 192 square feet

Typing out the words square feet is quite long winded and if you deal with square feet a lot you'll mostly see it written as either sq ft or ft2.

We can write the answer above using those notation and 12x16 is 192 ft2

Calculate the Price of a 12x16 Room

If you have a project that requires you to calculate the cost of work or materials needed for a 12x16 room or area, the below calculator can help.

For example, laying new carpet or flooring, painting or papering walls, installing bathroom tiles etc.

Simple enter the price per square foot in the tool below and we'll show you how much it will cost for your project.
