In this article, I will show you how big 200 square feet is along with some examples.
Square footage or square feet is the measurement of a two-dimensional space known as area.
To calculate the square footage of a certain area, you need to multiply the width and the length together.
If you have a room that is 20 feet long and 10 feet wide, the square footage is 200 square feet.
20 feet x 10 feet = 200 square feet.
Without having the exact dimensions, it is difficult to determine the square footage of an area.
What does 200 square feet look like?
Use the following examples to help you visualize just how big 200 square feet is.
Soccer field
A professional soccer field has the dimensions of 100 – 130 yards long x 50 – 100 yards wide. Not all soccer fields have the same dimensions and they can vary in different locations.
But on average, soccer fields measure 120 yards long x 75 yards wide. This is equal to 360 feet long x 225 feet wide.
The square footage of a soccer field is 81,000 sq. ft which is considerably larger than 200 square feet.
Therefore a soccer field is 405 times larger than 200 square feet.
Queen sized bed
A queen-size bed is one of the most popular sizes and has the dimensions of 80 inches long and 60 inches wide. In feet, the dimensions are 6.66 feet long and 5 feet wide which equals 33.3 square feet.
So if you were to place 6 queen-sized mattresses together, they would equal 200 square feet and give you an idea of what 200 square feet really looks like.
Tennis courts
I often like to reference tennis courts as a size comparison for area or square footage as they are a square and most people are familiar with how big a tennis court is.
Check out: How big is 100 square feet?
Looking at tennis court dimensions, they measure 78 feet long and 36 feet wide which equals 2,736 square feet. Tennis courts have both singles and doubles lines and the 36-foot width is measured using the doubles line.
When you divide the square footage of a tennis court by 200, it will show that a tennis court is 14 times larger than 200 square feet.
200 square feet is 1/14 the size of a tennis court.
Refrigerator
Although refrigerators come in a variety of sizes, the most common refrigerator found in many apartments and homes has dimensions of 69 inches tall and 36 inches wide.
In feet that is just under 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
Using these dimensions shows that an average-sized refrigerator measures 18 square feet.
When you divide 200 square feet by 18, you will see that 11 refrigerators equal 200 square feet.
Pickup truck bed
Depending on the make and model of pickup truck you have, the dimensions of the bed can vary.
One of the most common pickup trucks is the GMC Sierra. A standard 1/2 ton pickup truck like the GMC Sierra, has a bed size of 79.4 inches long x 71.4 inches wide. This is for the standard box size.
The measurements in feet equal 6.6 feet long x 5.95 feet wide. For average numbers, let’s round to 6.5 feet long and 6 feet wide which equals 39 square feet.
Dividing 200 square feet by 39 equals just over 5, therefore if you can imagine the size of 5 GMC Sierra pickup truck beds, it will be very close to measuring 200 square feet.
75-Inch tv
Flat-screen TVs are available in a variety of sizes and each tv can have different dimensions. Many people have large TVs these days.
I recently purchased a new 75-inch tv and it can be helpful to reference the size of other things once you know its dimensions.
For example, the dimensions of my LG 75-inch tv are 66.7 inches wide and 38.5 inches tall. The measurements in feet equal 5.55 feet wide and 3.2 feet tall making it 17.76 square feet.
After dividing 200 square feet by 17.76, you can see that placing 11 of these 75-inch TVs together will equal 200 square feet.
