how many sheets of 4ft x 8ft plywood will it take to cover a 11ft x 26ft room?

Answer provided by our tutors

the are of one sheet is: 4*8 = 32 ft^2


the area of the room is: 11*26 = 286 ft^2


lets assume that the plywood sheets can be cut into pieces to fit the room then the number of sheets used is:


286 / 32 = 8.9375 < 9 sheets


we need 9 sheets to cover the room.
