If your talking about how much surface area it will cover, the answer is 5.5 square feet.
5.5 inches wide by 144 inches long=792 square inches.
792 square inches/12 inches per foot/12 inches per foot since your looking for square feet=5.5 square feet
Another way to look at it is if you were to cut the 12 foot board down to 1 foot boards, you could double them up side by side and that would equal 11 inches x 12 inches. You would have 6 sets of 11 inches by 12 inches. So for each set you lose one inch in width for a total of 6 inches or a half foot. So you get 6 "square feet" minus the 6 inches total for the sets and end up with 5.5 square feet.

How many square feet in a 1x6x8 foot board?
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.
