The result of converting 14 ft to square is 196 square feet. This means that an area measuring 14 feet in length and width would cover 196 square feet of space.
To find this, we understand that feet measure length, and when calculating area in square feet, we multiply the length by the width. Since we’re converting feet to square feet directly, for a square shape, 14 ft on each side gets squared, resulting in 14 multiplied by 14, which equals 196 square feet.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert feet to square feet is multiplying the length in feet by the width in feet. When dealing with a square, both sides are equal, so the calculation simplifies to length times length. For example, 14 ft x 14 ft equals 196 sq ft. This works because area measures the space inside a shape, and multiplying length by width gives this measurement.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 ft to square:
- Step 1: Recognize the shape is square, so width equals length, which is 10 ft.
- Step 2: Multiply 10 ft by 10 ft.
- Step 3: 10 x 10 = 100 sq ft.
- Convert 20 ft to square:
- Step 1: Square shape with length 20 ft.
- Step 2: Multiply 20 ft by 20 ft.
- Step 3: 20 x 20 = 400 sq ft.
- Convert 5 ft to square:
- Step 1: Square with side 5 ft.
- Step 2: 5 x 5 = 25 sq ft.
- Convert 7 ft to square:
- Step 1: Length 7 ft, width also 7 ft.
- Step 2: 7 x 7 = 49 sq ft.

Conversion Definitions
ft
The foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. It is used to measure short distances, height, or length of objects, and is common in construction, real estate, and everyday measurements.
square
Square refers to a measurement of area, representing the space inside a shape, calculated by multiplying length by width in a two-dimensional plane. For example, square feet measure area in feet squared, useful for assessing room sizes or land plots.
Conversion FAQs
Why is my area calculation different when I use a different width?
Because area depends on both length and width, changing either dimension alters the total square footage. If the shape isn’t square, multiplying only the length by itself gives an incorrect area; both measurements are necessary for an accurate calculation.
Can I convert square feet to square meters directly?
Yes, but you need to multiply the square footage by 0.092903 to get square meters. For example, 196 sq ft x 0.092903 = approximately 18.21 square meters. Remember, this is a different conversion process from feet to square feet.
What is the best way to estimate square footage of irregularly shaped areas?
Divide the area into smaller, regular shapes like rectangles or squares, calculate each separately, and then sum them up. Alternatively, use a measuring tape or digital tools to trace the shape and compute the area with precise measurements.
How does the calculation change if I measure in inches instead of feet?
Convert inches to feet first by dividing the measurement by 12, then square the result or multiply length and width in feet to get square feet, as the area in inches squared is different from square feet. Always convert units before calculations.
