I need to know how to calculate volume in square feet. Example:
51/2"X2'X58" (five and one-half inched by two feet by 58 inches)=? sq. feet

Thanks

5 and half inch * 2 feet * 58 inch

=5.5*(2*12)*58 square inches.

to square feet
=5.5*(2*12)*58/144

=53.1666 square ft


PS: if you mean 5 feet and .5 inches then the calculation would be
=((5*12)+0.5)*(2*12)*58/144

If you are finding a volume then the answer is in CUBIC feet not SQUARE feet
=5.5*(2*12)*58 =7676 cubic inches
or
=5.5*(2*12)*58 /(12*12*12) =4.43 ft³

Hi. One other way...


=PRODUCT(5.5/12, 2, 58/12)

=4.43 Cubic Feet

Oops; it is cubic feet....(my mistake)

and should be divided by (12*12*12)..
