Re: carpet measuring

I see 18 people have viewed this with no answer, so here's my 2cent worth. If you really need the square feet it's 72" (6 ft) X 94" call it (8 ft) or 48 square feet. Since it comes 72" wide, just make sure it's 96 " long and you should be OK....Jim

Yes, as Oldman3 mentioned above 48 square ft should do it just make sure it is 6 ft by 8 ft.
