Converting 100 feet to square results in 10,000 square feet.
Because 1 foot squared equals the area of a square with sides of 1 foot, to find the area of a square with sides of 100 feet, you multiply 100 feet by 100 feet, which equals 10,000 square feet. This is a simple multiplication since area of a square is side length times side length.
Introduction
The conversion from feet to square involves calculating the area of a square where each side is measured in feet. In this case, when you have 100 feet, you are converting that linear measurement into an area measurement in square feet by squaring the length.

Conversion Formula
To convert feet to square feet, you multiply the length value in feet by itself, which is the square of the side length. The formula is Area = side length × side length. For example, if the side is 100 feet, then area equals 100 × 100, equaling 10,000 square feet. This works because area of a square is derived from side length squared.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 feet to square: 50 × 50 = 2,500 square feet.
- Convert 75 feet to square: 75 × 75 = 5,625 square feet.
- Convert 120 feet to square: 120 × 120 = 14,400 square feet.
- Convert 200 feet to square: 200 × 200 = 40,000 square feet.
Steps for 75 feet example:
- Identify the number: 75 feet.
- Square the number: 75 × 75.
- Calculate: 75 × 75 = 5,625.
- Result: 75 feet equals 5,625 square feet.

Conversion Definitions
Feet: Feet is a unit of linear measurement primarily used in the United States, equal to 12 inches. It describes the length of objects or distances, and is part of the imperial measurement system.
Square: Square refers to an area measurement representing the space within four equal sides and right angles, calculated by multiplying length by width in units like feet or meters.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I need to square the feet value to get square feet?
Because square feet measure an area, which involves two dimensions—length and width. Squaring the linear feet value accounts for both dimensions, giving the total surface area in square units.
Can I use the same formula for rectangular areas?
Yes, for rectangles, the area is calculated by multiplying length by width. When both are in feet, the result is in square feet. If sides are different, just multiply the two different lengths.
What if I want to convert square feet into square meters?
Conversion from square feet to square meters involves multiplying the square feet value by 0.092903. This converts the area into SI units, but the current focus is on feet to square feet.
Does the conversion change if the measurements are in inches instead of feet?
Yes, inches are smaller units. To convert inches to square feet, divide the total inches squared by 144, since there are 144 square inches in a square foot.
