I want to convert 320 square feet to linear feet.

I am purchasing an online garden product which covers 320' feet when water is added. As I am obviously not a maths whiz, I would appreciate one of you kind folks helping me out. If you need a width to determine this number, please use the number 4'. Many thanks.

320 ft²/4 ft = 80 ft. However, I have no idea whether that is the answer to your question. Is it 80 ft long by 4 ft wide?

Thanks John, that sounds right to me! Is it really as simple as dividing the 320 by 4 = 80? I thought that was the way to do it; but, that seemed to easy. So, once again, thanks a lot. Frances

The formula for area depends on shape, but for a rectangle (including squares),
area = length x width
It's that simple.
