Apart from the common units of length, you are used to, feet, which is the plural form of foot is also used in measuring the length of anything, although it is a non-SI unit of length, it is included the imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. On the other hand, square feet are a unit for two-dimensional measurements, such as area.

As you know that the area of anything is calculated by multiplying the length and width, the unit square feet" is also a product because the unit of length and width i.e., feet, will also be affected to give square feet. For example, 12 feet multiply by 3 feet is equal to 36 square feet. Anytime you see the symbol 'ft,' it simply represents feet, whereas square feet are "ft²" or "sq ft" as its symbol. If 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters, 1 square foot will give to 0.092903 square meters.

The length of everything is calculated in inches or feet. Feet is the plural of the foot, which is a non-SI component of length in the imperial and the United States traditional systems of measurement. The area of the room is calculated by multiplying the length and width of the room in feet. The feet are the non-SI unit for measuring length as specified in the imperial and the United States customary unit of measurement.

It is used to calculate the height, length, and distance. The square feet are the non-SI unit for measuring space used to measure any two-dimensional spaces. The international symbol for feet is ft. while the international symbol for square feet is represented as sq. Ft or ft2. The area of a room that is rectangular or square is calculated in square feet, done by multiplying the length and width of the space in feet.
