what counts as square feet in a house? specifically, what is required to turn an attic into countable sq. ft.?

Is the rest of the house heated & air conditioned?  If so, the attic will need to be also.  Then the square footage is listed as "under air".

Area in feet = 80*171 = 13680 square feet\n\n1 square foot = 0.000 022 957 acre\n13 680 square feet = 0.314 049 587 acre\n\n3/4 acres = 0.75 acres\n1/2 acres = 0.5 acres\nSo 0.314 acres is neither.

Convert to sq.ft. first:\n\n132 yd * 132 yd = \n\n396 ft * 396 ft =\n\n156,816 ft ²\n\nNow divide by 43,560, since 1 acre = 43,560 ft ²\n\n156,816 ÷ 43,560 = 3.60\n\n(My answer is exactly half of yours)\n\n~ ♥ ~

According to the U.S. Census (2001), the median home size was 1,736 square feet (Size of occupied Detached 1-family homes and 1-family manufactured/mobile homes).\n\nAccording to a "Characteristics of New Housing" report from the U.S. Census (2006), the average size of new homes was 2,414 square feet.

Area is given in square ft: Length * Width yields ft*ft=ft^2 =sqft\n\nVolume is given in cubic ft: L*W*Height yields ft*ft*ft=ft^3 =cuft\n\nThe formulas above are for area of a square or rectangle, and volume of these shapes in 3-dimensions.  \nFormulas for Area and Volume are different for circles, spheres, cylinders and such.\n\nArea of a circle = pi*(radius^2)\nVol of a sphere= (4/3)*pi*radius^3\nVol of a cylinder= pi*radius^2*Length

this question doesn't make sense.  or are you looking for the dimensions that could possible give you 2500 sq feet.  in that case, just find 2 numbers that when multiplied give 2500.  some examples:\n\n2x1250\n50x50\n10x250\n.25x10000\n\nthe reason your question doesn't make sense is that you can make one dimension infinitesimally small while the other dimmension gets huge.  to no end.

It is fairly easy to find out.  Decide about how many square feet you would like it to be.  Divide that out between the different uses.  I mean that there are different amounts for garages, patios, and living space.  So if you figure the total is going to be about 2500 square feet than an average two car garage is about 400 square feet and a decent sized patio on the house is about 300 square feet.  Subtract those amounts from the main number, 2500, and you have a breakdown of 1800 for living space, 300 for patio, and 400 for garage.  Take those numbers to the building department for your area and ask for a permit and valuation estimate.  Each portion has a different construction cost and they can add it all up with the different amounts and give you the estimate that will include the total cost of building the house.  That is not always perfect, but it is the best you can get without going through multiple construction companies.

Awesome question, because it gets into the whole idea of dimensions.\n\nSo for instance you rent one of those Storage Cubicles to store like, I don't know,  your collection of Spiderman comic books. And they tell you the room is 2  yards by 2 yards. So you do the math and you get 4 sqyds. \n\nBut here's the kicker, they don't tell you how high the ceiling is! So before you rent, you better find out. Some places have low ceilings, like 2 yards (6 feet). I once rented a 2 x 2 storage room which had 4 yard (12 feet!!!!) ceilings. I piled my skis, boxes, bed up into like a total tower!\n\nIn the first example 2 x 2 with a 2 yd ceiling you get 8 cubic yards for $50 a month.\n\nIn the second example 2 x 2 with a 4 yd ceiling you get 16 cubic yards for the same price!\n\nGenerally you need to check your dimensions before trying to convert.\n\nLike if you just type \n\n4 square yards in cubic yards\n\ninto Google, you won't get an answer because the dimensions totally don't match up. square yards can't be converted into cubic yards, just like 2 liters can't be converted into kilograms (unless you know what's inside the 2 liter bottle).\n\nBut you can type in the arithmetic like this\n2 yards(4 square yards) in cubic yards\n\nAnd Google will say:\n2 yards * (4 (square yards)) = 8 cubic yards\n\nThen there is the whole dumpster "yard" thing where a yard actual stands for a cubic measure. Funny thing is that a dumpster "yard" does not equal a cubic yard. Yikes! Same with lumber sizes. Too weird. So watch it out there!

43560 sq feet, do a google search on "square feet per acre", it shows you, it's really neat!  (Square yards per acre works to, 4840 square yards).

depends. What kind of house? How many stories is it currently? What is the material? What is the foundation? Can the house support another level? Does it need additional support for the weight? How much square footage? Do existing structural supports need to moved? \n\nAnd why is this in the computer section? I could see if you're asking about Autocad, but you're not.

When you square a number you are multiplying it by itself.  For example 3ft x 3ft = 9 square feet or 3 squared = 9.  But if you had a real square (a box top with equal sides like a huge pizza box) and each side was 3 feet, the area of the box would be 3ft x 3ft = 9 sq-ft.  You can think of squaring a number as the geometric operation of taking the sides of a square and multiplying them to get the square area as shown.\n\nTaking a square root is just the opposite.  You start with the square area of the box top and find the sides.  If the box top is 9 square feet you want to know the value of any two sides (the other two sides will be the same).  a square area of 9 sq-ft = 3ft x 3ft.  There are methods for calculating square feet or it can be done using a hand calculator, but it helps to know what is really going on.\n\nWhen you square a number or find the square root of a number you can also use pure numbers (3 or 9 rather than 3ft or 9 sq-ft) and there doesn't need to be any real pizza box involved even though you use the word "square."  Good luck.

When you take 3 ft x 3 ft. you get 9 *square* feet.\n\nSimilarly, you would want an answer in *square* inches, not just inches.\n\nAssuming that is what you meant, then just convert each dimension to inches and multiply.\n\nSo 3 feet x 12 inches / ft = 36 inches.\n\n36 inches x 36 inches = 1296 *square* inches.

Ok, I give. What is a linear square foot?

You need to measure the outside walls, not the square footage. Vinyl siding is measured in running feet, not square feet. Measure the length of each of your outside walls, than measure the height of the walls, and include the gabels if your putting siding there, this is very important, especially if you have a split level home. Take these measurements with you to the Home Depot, Sears wherever your buying the siding.

Google calculator will give you the answer right away.\n\nJust type "sq ft in an acre" and you'll get back the answer of 43,560 sq. ft.\n\nOr if you want it in sq inches, type "sq inches in an acre" (6,272,640 sq inches).

what size are we talking here? small use some of that packing material and use a exacto (sp) knife to form, shape sides roof , put it together with something that won't melt the Styrofoam
