How many square yards of carpet to cover a room 13 ft 6 inches x 13 ft?

Answer 1

9 square feet = 1 square yard

6 inches = 1/2 foot

Area = 13.5' x 13' = 175.5 square feet = 19.5 square yards.

Note that although the question was written in terms of covering "the room",

this figure represents only enough to cover the floor. If the ceiling is also to be

covered, then the number must be doubled.

Also, since we don't know the dimensions in which the carpet is delivered,

we can't do anything with the matter of how you might need to cut the

19.5 yds2 , in order to fit and cover the 13.5' x 13' floor.
