Square feet of a room is given by multiplying length by width.

You may need to break the area into rectangles for irregular shaped rooms

and add up the areas of the given rectangles.

Wood flooring is usually sold by board feet, unless it is parquet tiles.

Board feet is a unit based on volume, considering the thickness.

For purposes of covering a given area,

it is simpler to measure the length and width of the flooring

(using the same units you calculated the desired area of coverage).

That will give you the surface area of 1 board,

which you can divide into your total square feet number to cover,

giving you the number of boards to buy.

Remember to account for wasted board, due to cutting boards to fit,

allowing extra boards to make up for the area lost in pieces you are unable to use.
