Math On A New Cage

I wanted to build a new cage for my herd of boys. I wanted it to be at least 21 sq feet. I really suck when it comes to math. Somehow, I came up that I would need a cage that is 60"x124", that's a 4x9 cage. But then it comes out to being 51 sq feet when I do the math.

I really need some help with this. How many grids would I need to get as close to 21 sq feet for a cage? If I know the number of grids, then I can design accordingly. You can tell me a measurement such as 2x13 grid or 48 grids. I'll understand that.

Also, if someone wants to walk me through figuring out how to calculate how many grids I'll need for a certain square footage, I'd be very grateful.

Re: Math On A New Cage

A 2x10 will get you close to a 21 sq. foot cage. That would be 24 grids needed total.
