How to measure
To figure out the size of your room, use a tape measure to find out how wide, long, and tall it is. Also, count how many windows and doors are in the room. Afterward, put all these numbers into the calculator.
Here's a helpful hint: If your room isn't exactly the same on all sides, add up the measurements for the parts that make up the width and length of your room.
