Converting scale to feet

I’m currently working on my uni project, I’ve been given a site to work on. I’ve converted the measurements from 1:100 to 1:50. My only issue now is, how do I figure out the actual square feet of the space with measurement from the width and the length of the space I have measured. Do I do the usual of x’ing the length and width and then convert the answer to ft? Thanks!

Not completely sure what you mean by ‘diverted the measurements’. However if you have a plan in 1:50 scale you can either convert the length and width measured in feet on the plan to actual distance by multiplying each measurement by 50, then multiply them together to get a result in square feet. Or multiply the length and width measurements you make on the plan together and multiply by 50 squared to arrive at the same result
