Start by making a cross in the enter of the room, then measure out from the center in each direction until you reach the walls. That way, if the room isn't square, you'll know where and in which direction—it might be square in one corner, for instance, or it might not be square in any corners.

QuestionHow does this work if opposite walls are different lengths?Community AnswerYou have to treat it like a trapezoid. So think of it like a square plus a triangle. For example, a 15 ft wide room with wall lengths of 15 feet and 17 feet would be treated like a square + triangle. Square total = 15*15 = 225 square feet, triangle total = (17-15)*15*(1/2)= 15 square feet. Add them together and it would be 240 square feet total.
