Here is how to properly measure and calculate total square footage of the space. 1  Split the room into separate areas. 2  Measure each area of the room separately (area 1, area 2, area 3). 3  Calculate the square footage of the each space by multiplying length by width. 4  Room: Length (ft) x Width (ft) = Square Footage.
Add the areas together to find the total square footage of the room. Combine the surface area of the three rectangular sections, two triangular sections, and one semi-circular section. This sum will give you the square footage of the room. Total square footage = 120 + 24 + 30 + 45 + 18.75 + 47.5 = 285.25 sq ft.
