How do you know how many carpet tiles to purchase for an irregularly shaped room?
Mark off imaginary squares for large portions of the room and take measurments. Do the same for any smaller sections and add them all together. Measure your room as if it were rectangular. Measure the longest distance from wall to wall going each direction in the room. Make sure to cut only the tiles you need so you can return any tiles that you do not need.
Give 2 examples when an area measurement is needed?
You need to know the measurement of an area when purchasing wall-to-wall carpet or to know how many bricks to buy to pave your patio.
How many 0.5-foot tiles are needed to completely cover a 4 foot square wall?
-3.5
If you are tiling a wall in a bathroom. it is rectangular and measures 4 feet by 7 feet. the tiles are square and measure 6 inches on each side . how many tiles does Sarah need?
The wall, 4 ft x7 ft, is 28 ft2. Each tile, .5 ft x .5 ft, is .25 ft2. 28ft2 divided by .25 ft2 = 112. However, that doesn't account for the grouted spaces between the tiles which, depending upon the width of the spaces, would somewhat reduce the number of tiles required.
How many 0.5 foot tiles are needed to completely cover a 4 foot square wall?
Assuming none are broken during the installation process, 64 full tiles will be required.
