To build an 8x10 shed using 4x8 plywood sheets, you will need to calculate the total area of the shed's walls and roof. The walls typically require about 320 square feet of plywood (for four walls), and the roof requires around 80 square feet. This totals approximately 400 square feet, which can be covered by 50 sheets of 4x8 plywood, as each sheet covers 32 square feet. Thus, you would need around 13 sheets, considering some waste and cuts.

To calculate the amount of lumber needed for the shed, you first need to determine the perimeter of the shed, which is 2(12+20) = 64 feet. Next, calculate the total wall area by multiplying the perimeter by the wall height: 64ft * 8ft = 512 square feet. To find the amount of lumber needed, divide the total wall area by the area covered by each piece of lumber. If you are using standard 8ft long 2x4 lumber, each piece covers 8sq.ft. Therefore, you will need 512sq.ft / 8sq.ft = 64 pieces of lumber for the walls.
The question cannot be answered because the height of the shed has not been specified. Not does the question make clear how much of the sides, and of the roof, is made of wood.
