2. Now measure the width of the counter tops and multiply the total length of the counter tops by the width in inches. An example wound be a length of 122. inches, and a width of 26 inches. Your total sq. inch would be (122 x 26 ) 3,172 sq inches.

3. For the backsplash, multiply the total of 122 inches of counter top by 4 which is the width of the backsplash, (144 x 4 = 488). Add the 3,172 and 488 together for the total in square inches (3172 + 488 = 3660). Now to measure sq footage of countertops, more math is needed.

4. Divide the total sq, inches of 3660 by 144 to get the square footage of your counter tops. Your total square footage is 26 sq. ft.
