How do you calculate 216 square feet into linear feet? - Answers

With great difficulty (that is it is impossible) without further information:216 square feet represent an area; it has twodimensions (like a width and a depth)linear feet (or just feet) represent a length; it has one dimension (and is used to measure things like width and depth).To reduce an area by one dimension so that it becomes a length requires dividing by a length.So without knowing the shape of the area and what length of the area you want to measure (and possibly some length of the area), conversion is impossible. Indeed, 216 sq feet can be converted into any linear feet you want to! examples:Radius of circle with area 216 sq ftradius = √(216 sq ft ÷ π) ~= 8.29 ftWidth of rectangle with area 216 sq ft and length 36 ftwidth = 216 sq ft ÷ 36 ft = 6 ftCircumference of circle with area 216 sq ftcircumference = √(4 x 216 sq ft x π) ~= 52.10 ftLength of perimeter of square with area 216 sq ftperimeter = 4 x √(216 sq ft) ~= 58.79 ftBase of triangle with area 216 sq ft and height 12 ftbase = 2 x 216 sq ft ÷ 12 ft = 36 ft
