Lay out or stand up the piece you're interested in.
-- Take out your tape and your calculator.
-- Measure the length of the piece, in inches.
-- Then measure the width of the piece, in inches.
-- Multiply the two numbers.
-- Divide the product by 144.
The result is now the square footage of the piece or area you measured
To calculate the total square footage of a 1x6x8 foot board, you first need to find the surface area of one side of the board. Since the board is 1 foot wide and 8 feet long, the area of one side is 1 x 8 = 8 square feet. Since there are two sides to the board, you would multiply the area of one side by 2 to get the total surface area of the board, which is 8 x 2 = 16 square feet.
well assuming you want the board feet and assuming it is a square you would multiply 8 by 5 and get - 40 square board feet
Depends on the size of the board.
2,000 square inches
A chess board is a square, so it would have 4 lines of symmetry: two going diagonally, and 2 across the middle of the board that divide the sides in half.
To calculate the bursting strength of 5 ply corrugated board, the ability to hold weight must be tested first. The bursting strength would be the amount of weight the board can hold before breaking.
Linear footage is a one dimensional measurment. Board footage is volume. one board foot is 1 inch thick by 12 inches square. 1" x 12" x 12" = 144 cubic inches of wood or one board foot.
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 calculate the total square footage of a 1x6x8 foot board, you first need to find the surface area of one side of the board. Since the board is 1 foot wide and 8 feet long, the area of one side is 1 x 8 = 8 square feet. Since there are two sides to the board, you would multiply the area of one side by 2 to get the total surface area of the board, which is 8 x 2 = 16 square feet.
The Edge Crush Test (ECT) is a measure of the compression strength of corrugated board. The formula to calculate the ECT is ECT = F / (W x L), where F is the maximum force applied during the test, W is the width of the sample, and L is the span length of the sample.
Corrugated Board - Ring Crush Test : Ring Crush is a traditional test of linerboard and corrugating medium strength. Ring crush measures compression resistance, and this compression strength is considered to relate to the eventual compression strength of combined board made from the component. Linerboard called high strength or high performance linerboard is board that is able to achieve a specified minimum ring crush at basis weights that are lower than traditional basis weights. Corrugated Board - Concora Crush Test : The Concora Crush Tester performs a series of tests to determine the rigidity and crush resistance of corrugated material. It is used in conjunction with the Concora Liner Tester. The first test measures the flat crushing resistance of a laboratory-fluted corrugated material. The second test determines the edgewise strength, parallel to the flutes, of a short column of single-, double-, or triple-wall corrugated board. The third test evaluates the ability of corrugated material to contribute to the compression strength of a corrugated box by measuring the edgewise compression strength of a laboratory-fluted strip of corrugated material in a direction parallel to the fluted tips. Corrugated Board - Flat Crush Strength : The flat crush test is a measure of the resistance of the flutes in corrugated board to a crushing force applied to the surface of the board under prescribed conditions. Flat crush is a measure of the flute rigidity of corrugated board. A high flat crush value indicates a combination of good flute formation and at least adequate strength medium. Low flat crush may indicate a number of conditions including low strength medium, leaning flutes and crushed flutes.From: http://www.thaicorrugated.com/knowledge.php?cid=30
Measure the length plus the width, double that number. Take that number and multiply it by the height of the base board. That will give you the number of square inches of base. Divide the number of square inches by 144 and that will give you the square feet. There are 144 square inches in each square foot.
you can't straight convert a linear measure to an area measure... missing info. If the board is 12" wide, then the ratio is one to one. if the board is 6" wide, the linear footage needed would be double. It's a simple ratio. width of board in inches/12 * length in feet = square feet. length in feet = square feet * 12 / width
A board foot is one square foot by one inch thick or 4 quarters (4/4). If you were using something thicker, then the square footage provided would be proportionately less. I.e. 8/4 lumber would yield half the square footage but would be twice as thick (2"). So, using 4/4 lumber would mean 2000 board feet for the house assuming no waste.

Measure the length of each wall. Add those figures up and you get Linear footage. Divide the total linear footage by the width of the panels and round up, this is the number of planks you will need.
You can iron the crushed paper if you want to save it.
