Calculate the area of a room or space by multiplying the length in feet by the width in feet. If the answer is 200, for example, then the space is 200 square feet. For 12-inch tiles, the total area is also the number of floor tiles required to cover the space. To calculate the appropriate number for other sizes of floor tiles, determine the size of that tile in square feet. For example, four 6-inch tiles make up one 12-inch tile.
