Flooring Area Calculator

Quick install example: We had to lay vinyl flooring in a large living room — 22 ft by 18 ft. The flooring area calculator gave us 396 square feet instantly. Since the hallway had a tapered section, we double-checked the shape using the area calculator for parallelograms and trapezoids.

This flooring area calculator computes the area for geometric floor plans such as trapezoidal foyers, circular patios, hexagonal tiles, triangular alcoves, and elliptical walkways. Formulas are provided below.

Trapezoidal Foyer
The area of a trapezoid is A = ½ × (base₁ + base₂) × height, where base₁ and base₂ are the parallel walls and height is the perpendicular distance between them. For a foyer with bases of 12 ft and 8 ft and a height of 6 ft, the flooring calculator gives A = ½ × (12 + 8) × 6 = 60 ft².

Circular Patio
The area of a circle is A = π × radius², where radius is the distance from the center to the edge. For a circular patio with a radius of 9 ft, the flooring area calculator computes A = π × 9² = π × 81 ≈ 254.47 ft².

Hexagonal Tile
The area of a regular hexagon is A = (3√3 / 2) × side², where side is the length of one edge. For a hex tile with side = 4 in, the calculator gives A ≈ (3√3 / 2) × 16 ≈ 41.57 in².

Triangular Alcove
The area of a triangle is A = ½ × base × height, with base as the wall side and height as the perpendicular drop. For a triangle with base = 5 ft and height = 3 ft, the calculator returns A = ½ × 5 × 3 = 7.5 ft².

Elliptical Walkway
The area of an ellipse is A = π × a × b, where a and b are the semi-major and semi-minor axes. For an elliptical path with a = 6 m and b = 2 m, the flooring area calculator computes A = π × 6 × 2 = π × 12 ≈ 37.70 m².
