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.
