Determine the number of 4-foot-wide by 8-foot-high sheets of drywall needed for the walls of the garage in Figure 16.17. The walls are 8 feet high and the overhead door is 7 feet high by 16 feet wide. Only the inside walls of the garage need drywall.

What will be an ideal response?


Determine the wall length without the overhead door.

Wall length = 30? + 4? + 4? + 30? + 24? = 92?

Sheets of drywall = 92? / 4? = 23 sheets

Add one sheet for above the overhead door – Order 24 sheets
