To convert square inches to square feet, we first need to know the relationship between those two units. There are 12 inches in a foot, so we can calculate the square footage from square inches by using the following conversion:
1 square foot = (12 inches) x (12 inches) = 144 square inches.
Now, to find out how many square feet are in 288 square inches, we simply divide the number of square inches by the number of square inches in a square foot:
Calculation:
Number of square feet = 288 square inches / 144 square inches per square foot = 2.0 square feet.
So, there are 2 square feet in 288 square inches.
