How many feet are there in 1 square feet,and how many yards are there in 1 square yard?
Q. How many square feet will there be in 400 feet,and how many square yard will be in 400 ft?
Asked by sweety786 - Thu Jun 29 11:41:14 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That is kind of a tricky question...for what it seems like your question is trying to find out. So, the actual answer may be disappointing. One square feet: think of graph paper. One square is the length of, well, one square. So, How many square feet will there be in 400 feet? Well, your area is going to have 20 feet on each side. (I am assuming that you are wondering how large each side is IN 400 [square] feet...with "in" being the indicating word). Your 2nd question indicates the same thing...the "in 400 ft" implies the 400 [square] ft. So, 20 feet makes 400 square feet, 20 ft = 6.667 yds, which is 44.44 square yards.

How many square feet should a hotel room be?
Q. I am going to be building a hotel soon and I want to make sure the rooms are plenty big. I have been in hotels where the rooms are tiny and in some where they are huge. I just want to make sure I provide the best size room. So with that being said, how many square feet do you think the guest rooms should be?
Asked by energy2x - Thu Oct 30 11:11:07 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This answer requires detailed market analysis, What is the typical room size in your market? What are occupancy rates? What market will you be competing for - high end, mid range, extended stay, economy, etc... Get in touch with someone experienced in your market and don't trust anything you hear on YA.
