Would you need to use area or volume to find the amount of carpet for your floor?

If your floor is a simple rectangle, you would multiply length times width and get the area. That's how much carpet is needed to cover it. Make sure that you have your measurements converted to just feet when you multiply them. For example, if it is 10 feet, 8 inches long, that would be 10 8/12 feet long. If your floor is not just a simple rectangle, divide a diagram of it up into simple rectangles (or other polygons) that you can find the area of, and then add all of their areas together.

How much carpet to cover a 12 feet x 15 feet floor?
You would need 20 square yards of carpet which is 180 square feet.
How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 9 feet by 10 feet?
10 square yards. Note, the amount of carpet you have to pay for may actually be more than 10 square yards as you will have to buy the entire width of the roll * the length you need. Assuming it is 12' wide you would need 12 square yards and if its 15' wide you would need 15 yards. No carpet store sells carpet by what you need but only by what the width of the roll is. So if you need a 10 x 9 piece, the carpet only comes 12 foot wide so you would take home a piece of carpet 12 x 9.
