How Many Square Feet Is an 8x10 Room?

Every material calculator on the site starts here, which is why this one also gives square yards and square meters. Odd shapes get broken into rectangles and added on, because a rectangle is the only shape a tape measure is honest about.

Length times width, times how many areas are that size. For an L shaped room, split it into two rectangles and run this twice.
Square yards are square feet divided by nine, which is how carpet is still quoted in much of the country.
