"Measuring a rectangular box" edit

If you are measuring up a rectangular in inches both the length and the width and you come a across a key which tells you 1/2=1foot how do you go about converting the inches to a foot?

Measure the side lengths in inches, then convert the side lengths to (linear) feet, and multiply (giving you square feet). Ζρς ιβ' ¡hábleme! 02:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
