To convert cubic feet to square feet, you need to know the height or depth of the space you’re working with. The reason for this is that cubic feet measure volume (length × width × height), while square feet measure area (length × width).
Here’s the formula to convert cubic feet to square feet:
Square Feet (Area)= Height or Depth Cubic Feet (Volume)
So, to convert cubic feet to square feet, divide the cubic feet by the height (or depth) of the space in feet.
Example: If you have a volume of 100 cubic feet and the height is 5 feet:
Square Feet=5 feet100 cubic feet=20 square feet
This gives you the area in square feet.
