From How to Measure for a Landing Rug or Landing Pad, Step 1: Measure the landing width
Using a measuring tape, measure the width of the area you need to calculate the square footage for. For example, if measuring a room, extend the measuring tape from one side of a wall to the opposite side, ensuring a straight line for accuracy. Record this measurement.

Next, measure the length or height of the same area. This measurement should be perpendicular to the width you just measured. For a room, this would be the length from one end of the room to the other. For a wall, it would be the height. Again, use a measuring tape and record this measurement accurately.
