A 12 by 15 room: 12 x 15 = 180 180 divided by 9 = 20 (one yard is 9 square feet) So, depending on the room, you might need 20 to 21 yards of carpet for a 12 by 15 room. John

A rectangular room 15 ft long and 20 ft wide has an area of 15 X 20 = 300 square feet. There are nine square feet per square yard; therefor the answer is 300/9 = 33+ square yards. At least 34 square yard units will therefore be needed.
In purely mathematical terms you would need a piece of carpet 12'w X 31' 3"l This is assuming that the room is square (they almost never are), the carpet is at least 12' wide (it often isn't :-), that the factory edges can be joined perfectly to make acceptable seams (they seldom can be) and that there is no pattern that has to be matched A professional measuring the room should estimate the minimum amount of (solid color) carpet needed at 12'w X 32'3" to allow for seams. Pattern carpet would require additional material to allow for matching
Carpet comes in widths of 12' and 15'. If the room is wider than 15', the carpet will have to be seamed. Determine how much carpet is needed by measuring the width and length of the room. Add a few inches to both measurements to allow extra carpet for thresholds and doorways. Make a rough drawing of the room and take it to the carpet retail outlet. The sales representative can advise on how much carpet will be needed and can even arrange to have the length cut.

The 12 x 20 foot room has an area of 240 square feet, and the 15 x 15 foot room has an area of 225 square feet. That's 465 square feet of carpet. But hold the phone. Carpet is generally sold by the square yard, and a square yard is 9 square feet (as 3 feet x 3 feet is 9 square feet). The 465 square feet of floor is 51.666... or 52 square yards of carpet. It might be necessary to buy some "extra" area depending on the width of the "stock" roll of carpet from which the desired pattern/color of carpet is going to be cut.
13' x 15' (195 square feet) = 21.67 square yards of carpet needed.

225 square feet (15 x 15 = 225).
15 ft x 10 ft = 150 square feet, so there are 150 sq ft in the room. There are 9 square feet in a square yard. 150 sq ft divided by 9 = 16 2/3 square yards. The answer is 16 2/3 square yards of carpet are needed for the room.Math is right, but most carpets come 12 ft wide, so you would need 12 ft x 15 ft which is 180 sq ft = 20 square yards. This is because carpet is always installed in the same direction, and calculations are made to create the minimum amount of wasted material.
