The general rule of thumb is to take the area of the room plus 10%. However, if you are not covering the entire area (say you are not going to floor underneath an island, let's say), you can deduct that area. 14x14 = 196 square feet + 10% (19.6 - say 20 square feet), means you'll need 216 square feet of flooring.

How many square feet of floor do I need if it's 9.3 feet one way and 11.7 feet the other way

Good morning Lisa!

There are likely two or three answers here.

Multiplying out directly, you get 9.3 x 11.7 = 108.81 sq feet.

But, the only floor covering that goes down like that is paint.
If you are putting down 12x12" tile, then you'll need to go 10 wide in the 9.3 foot direction (with cut tiles for the last .3 foot), and 12 long in the 11.7 direction, so you'll need 120 x one square foot tiles.

If it's tile of another dimension, divide the dimension into the 9.3 and into the 11.7, then round the answer up to the next whole number for each, and multiply together. 2x2 foot tiles would go 4->5 times for 9.3, and 5->6 times for 11.7, to give you 5x6=30 tiles x 4sq ft/tile = 120 sq feet.

If you're doing wooden flooring, you'll do a similar calculation based on the width of the wood laths, divided into one dimension and rounded up, times the linear feet needed in the other direction. If the boards are 4 inches wide, running parallel to the long wall, 4" goes into 9.3 feet 27 times, so round to 28. 28 x 4" = 9.333 feet You need 11.7 linear feet the other way. 11.7 x 9.333 = 109.2 sq feet. Though you won't likely be cutting 11.7 foot long pieces off of some piece as long as a full tree, so divide the board length into 11.7 and round up. If it comes in 3 foot sections, then 3 goes into 11.7 three times, round up to 4, so you'll have 28 widths x 1/3 foot per width x 12 feet length per strip = 112 sq feet.

Hoping this is helpful. good luck!

How many square foot of floor panels do I need to cover a room 12 foot x 6 inches x 13 feet in square eet?

To convert your 2 dimensions to square feet you have to multiply them together.
12.5 x 13 = 162.5 square feet.
You do not give the size of floor panels you want to use
To find out how many panels you neeed, divide 162.5 by the square footage of the panel
eg, 12" x 12" panels are (1x1) 1 square foot so you would need 162.5 of them.
24" x 24" panels are (2x2) 4 square foot so you would need 41panels

WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A 14 BY 70 MOBILE HOME.

Hi Sharee:
The square footage is 14 times 70 equals 980 square feet.
That would be the Floor Area.
Air conditioners sometimes need to know the building volume so if you have 8 ft ceilings you would multiple 980 by 8 to get 7,840 CUBIC FEET.
Air exchange is typically are rated at cubic feet per minute and required as "specified Air Changes per Hour.
An example for your trailer would be 1/2 air change per hour required per building code. 7,840 times 1/2 equals 3920 cubic feet per hour. Divide that by 60 to get 65 cubic feet per minute.
That would be the minimum air change capacity for your air conditioner if it was also providing required ventilation.
