To simplify, you will need the length times the width of any room which will give you the surface area. (L x W = A²)

This is generally measured in meters so the total will be m².
Start by finding the longest length of the room and measure from one wall to the other. Repeat this with the other walls.

What about if there are obstacles in the way?
