Determine the number of 4-foot-wide by 8-foot-high sheets of drywall needed for the ceiling of the garage in Figure 16.17. The ceiling is flat. Add 5 percent waste.
What will be an ideal response?
The ceiling area and number of sheets of drywall is determined as follows:
Ceiling area (sf) = 30? × 24? = 720 sf
Area per sheet = 4' × 8' = 32 sf
Sheets of drywall = 720 sf / 32 sf per sheet 22.5 sheets
Add waste.
Sheets of drywall = 22.5 sheets × 1.05 = 23.6 – Order 24 sheets
