How to Use the Room Area Calculator

A Room Area Calculator is a simple tool used to calculate the floor area of a room based on its length and width, typically measured in feet or meters.

---

What It Does:

This calculator helps homeowners, renters, designers, and contractors determine the total surface area of a room, useful for flooring, paint, furniture planning, or construction estimates.

---

Steps to Use:

1. Enter the room’s length (in feet or meters).
2. Enter the width of the room.
3. Choose the measurement unit from the dropdown menu (feet or meters).
4. Click “Calculate Area”.

You’ll see:

• The entered length and width,
• The calculated area in square feet (sq ft) or square meters (sq m).

---

Example:

Let’s say you enter:

• Length: 15
• Width: 10
• Unit: Feet

Result: Area: 150.00 sq ft

This means you’ll need enough material to cover 150 square feet of space (e.g., tiles, carpet, paint).
