2017年2月14日 · You do not need the word "area". "He just bought a house with "2000 square feet" or "2000-square-foot” area." - "2000 square feet" or "2000-square-foot” is an area... However, as has been pointed out, this type of description of houses in the UK, Ireland and most of the English speaking world is very rare.

2015年4月24日 · Hence the term "linear" feet is used. For example, if you were going to purchase ceramic tile, you would normally order the tile by the square foot since that is the most reasonable way to measure the floor (LENGTH (in feet) multiplied by …

2010年9月5日 · Stick A is three feet longer than stick B. if stick B is 1 foot long, then stick A is 4 feet long. In this construction we "add" the three excess items to the original item.

2008年12月14日 · In AE usage (which in this matter is different from BE usage), to be in a square is to be in the area the square itself covers, while to be on a square is to be along the edge. One would say that Nelson's Column is in Trafalgar Square, but the National Gallery is on the square.

2010年4月22日 · An easy way to remember this is that a square with side m has an area equal to m times m, or m^2 (m-squared), and a cube with side m has volume equal to m times m times m, or m^3 (m-cubed).

2009年9月3日 · In this context I believe that "square" comes from carpentry or a similar field.

I should also mention that I could be wrong on the origin.

2013年1月22日 · Hi all, I'm not sure that there's a hard and fast rule for this but opinions would be great. I am writing a script for a stage play and am following the usual sentence/fragment rules with regard to capitals and full stops. Mostly this is fine …

2017年12月29日 · This occupies one side of Trafalgar Square, and I find that "in Trafalgar Square" is most popular, but "on" and "at" are both used, and by native English speakers too. "At" is rather more than a point; it could, for instance, refer to a building (provided you weren't referring specifically to the inside of it, although the inside is not ...

2012年11月20日 · If most mountains are say 5,000 ft. and Mt. Fuji is 12,388 feet (3,776 m), then Mt. Fuji would be considered "tall". On a side note, we often say "tall" at the end of many heights. "He is 6ft tall." "The mountain is 8,000 feet tall." "That building is 3 stories tall." These do not mean that they are taller than other things that are comparable ...
