About Rectangle Area Calculator
This rectangle area calculator multiplies length by width and also gives the perimeter. The page opens on a room 15 ft by 9 ft and converts the result to square metres. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
A 15 ft by 9 ft room has 135 square feet, about 12.54 square metres. Use the unit selectors for other sizes.
How to use Rectangle Area Calculator
- Choose the shape from the list.
- Type its dimensions, such as length and width or radius. The labels in each box name the measurement.
- Pick the unit you measured in, and the unit you want the area converted to.
- Read the area, the converted value and the table of every unit.
- Compare your shape with the labelled diagram to make sure each number is the right measurement.
- Open the step-by-step working to see the formula with your numbers in it.
Features
- Eleven shapes, each with formula, working and diagram.
- Eight length units for the inputs, from millimetres to miles.
- Result converted to square metres, feet, yards, kilometres, miles, acres and hectares.
- Bangladesh land units: decimal (shotangsho), katha and bigha.
- Perimeter or circumference where the inputs allow it.
- Regular polygon for any number of sides from 3 to 1000.
- Sector area from the angle in degrees, annulus from outer and inner radius.
- Clear errors, such as an inner radius larger than the outer one.
Rectangle formulas
Length times width.
A = l × w
P = 2(l + w)Worked examples
15 ft by 9 ft gives 135 ft²
15 × 9 = 135 ft², or about 12.54 m².
Privacy: how it works
- All calculations run in your browser tab. The measurements you enter are not sent to Ulkaa or to any other server, and there is nothing to sign in to.
Tips
- Measure everything in the same unit before you enter it, or set the unit selector to match.
- The height of a triangle, trapezoid or parallelogram is the perpendicular distance, not the slanted side.
- For an L-shaped room, split it into two rectangles, find each area and add them.
- A rhombus needs its two diagonals, not its side length.
