How to Measure Countertops
L Shape Counter Top
To Measure Section A:
Take the wall dimension of Section A
& minus the depth of Section B
125" – 25 " = 100"
Take this number &
multiply by the depth of Section A
100" x 25" = 2500 sq. in.
Divide this number by 144
2500 ¸ 144 = 17.36 sq. ft.
To Measure Section B:
Take the wall dimension of Section B & multiply
by the depth of Section B
60" x 25 " = 1500 sq. in.
Divide this number by 144
1500 ¸ 144 = 10.41 sq ft.
Add the total of Section A & Section B & round to the nearest ¼ sq. ft.
17.36 + 10.41 = 27.77 sq. ft. / The total counter top is 28 sq. ft.

Take the length of Section A & multiply by the depth of Section A
72" x 30" = 2160 sq. in.

2160 ¸ 144 = 15.0 sq. ft.
To Measure Section B:
Take the length of Section B & multiply by the depth of Section B
54" x 30" = 1620 sq. in.
Divide this number by 144
1620 ¸ 144 = 11.25 sq. ft.
Add the total of Section A & Section B & round to the nearest ¼ sq. ft.
15.0 + 11.25 = 26.25 sq. ft. / The total counter top is 26 ¼" sq. ft.
