How would you find out how many sheets of sheetrock to buy for a 12ft width 16 feet long and 8 foot high walls.?

2 of the walls are each 12' wide and 8' high.
Each of them needs 12 x 8 = 96 square ft to cover it.
2 of them need 2 x 96 = 192 square feet of sheet rock.
The other 2 walls are 16' wide and 8' high.
Each of them needs 16 x 8 = 128 square ft to cover it.
Those 2 walls need 2 x 128 = 256 square feet of sheet rock.
For the 4 walls all together, you need 192 + 256 = 448 square feet.
I'm not sure whether the sheetrock comes in the usual 4' x 8' sheets,
like the other kinds of paneling. If so, that's very nice, because the
height of the walls is 8', so the sheets exactly fit side-by-side and
standing up, without cutting anything.
If that's the case, then in order to go all the way around the 4 walls,
you need 16' + 12' + 16' + 12' = 56 feet . . . 14 sheets of rock, with
the 8-ft dimension of the sheets standing up.
The area is (14 sheets) times (8' x 4' per sheet) = 14 x 32 = 448 square feet,
and that jibes with the earlier calculation, 12 lines above this one.
Of course, you have to cut the rock for the doors and windows; otherwise
you'll have a problem getting in and out of the room.

How do you get the answer to how many sheets of plywood are needed to completely cover a rectangle shaped floor measuring 16 feet by 12 feet?
Multiply the width by the length, for area. So, 16x12=192Answer:American measured plywood comes in 4x8 sheets. The floor would be 2 sheets long (2x8=16) and 3 sheets wide (4x3=12) so you would need 3x2=6 sheets.
How many 4ft by 8ft sheets of plywood is needed for a room with 255square feet?
8 sheets is needed to cover 255 square feet, 255/(4x8)=7 31/32. But the usage of the plywood isn't specified. If the plywood is for the walls, most rooms are 8 feet tall, so the perimeter is important. In that case, we can wildly guess that this is a 15x17 room, and that has a perimeter of 15+15+17+17 = 64. It would take 16 sheets to cover the walls of a 15x17 room.

Outside measurement of the building using one 16' and one 8' door, 1/2" plywood siding and no overhang would be 25' and 8". You need a minimum of 3" on each side of the door for the track and the thickness of the outside walls.

Can you put sheetrock over tiles?
You cannot use sheetrock as flooring, period. If you meant on a wall, there is no reason you cannot put sheetrock over tiles. The question is why would you want to! Why not remove tiles and material behind, which is probably sheetrock, and then install new sheetrock. If it is an area prone to moisture you could use moisture resistant sheetrock. The job would look better and you would not lose the space by adding over existing material.
