A roofing square covers an area of 100 square feet. A standard 4x8 sheet measures 32 square feet (4 feet x 8 feet). To determine how many 4x8 sheets are in a roofing square, divide 100 square feet by 32 square feet, which equals approximately 3.125 sheets. Therefore, you would need about 4 sheets of 4x8 to cover a roofing square, accounting for waste and cuts.

You multiply the width by the length to get square footage. Example 4x8 sheet is 32 sqare feet, 4x12 ft board has 48 square feet.
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.
