What is the square footage of a 20 x 20 foot room? Do you just multiply?

Length in feet times width in feet equals area in square footage.

Length times width times height equals cubic feet. Useful for sizing an air conditioner.

Length in feet times width in feet divided by 9 square feet (or 1 square yard) equals square yards. Useful in measuring carpet for the floor of a room.

yes, square area is calculated by multiplying length times width. So 20 x 20 = 400 square feet.

And if you want to know square yards (like for carpet) you divide the number by 9 (number of square feet in a 3 x 3 square yard). So it would be 44.5 square yards.

yes = 400 sq ft.
