Answer #1

brief:

the measurements in the question are given in foots and inches

we have to find the area in square yards.

Therefore, the given units are converted from feet-inches to feet, by dividing inches by 12 to get feet measurement.

bi-fold hollow core is also carpetted.

For Carpetting skirting is usually provided

Let the width of skirting be 4 inches

(the width of skirting is added with the room measurements itself while calculating the answer)

Carpet used at the door opening can be compensated with the skirtng; so, no independent calculation is needed.

Since the rooms are not marked, an image is uploaded which denotes the room with numbering.

Answer:

ROOM 1

4' X 12' 6"

carpet area = 4' x 12' 6"

= 4' x 12.5'

= 50 sqft..

ROOM 2

19' 4" X 12' 3"

carpet area = 19' 4" x 12' 3"

= 19.33' x 12.25"

= 236.8 sqft..

( 32'- 19' 4"- 5' 9" ) X 8' 9"

carpet area = ( 32'- 19' 4" - 5' 9" ) x ( 8' 9" )

= 6' 11" x 8' 9"

= 6.916' x 8.75'

= 60.515 sqft..

ROOM 3

5' 9" X 8' 9"

carpet area = 5' 9" x 8' 9"

= 5.75' x 8.75'

= 50.31 sqft..

ROOM 4

11' 6" X 12' 10"

carpet area = 11' 6" x 12' 10"

= 11.5' x 12.83'

= 147.54 sqft..

ROOM 5

11' 6" X 12' 10"

carpet area = same as above

= 147. 54 sqft..

ROOM 6

11' 9" X 16' 4"

carpet area = 11' 9" x 16' 4"

= 11.75' x 16.33'

= 191.87 sqft..

Total Carpet Area = 50 + 236.8 + 60.515 + 50.31 + 147.54 + 147.54 + 191.87

= 884.575 sqft..

Total Skirting = total length of skirting x width of skirting

= 238' 99" x 4"

= 246.25' x 0.33'

= 81.26 sqft..

Total Carpet required = Total Carpet Arrea + Total Skirting

= 884. 575 + 81.26

= 965. 83 sqft..

Therefore Carpet Area in square yard = 965.83 x .111

= 107.207 squareyards
