How many square feet of 1 x 8 bevel siding is required to cover an 8' high and 30' long wall after accounting for a 30 sq. ft. window area?

To determine how many square feet of 1 x 8 bevel siding is required to cover the wall, we first need to calculate the total area of the wall and then subtract the area of the window.

The wall is 8 feet high and 30 feet long. To find the total area of the wall, you multiply the height by the length:

Total wall area = Height × Length

Total wall area = 8 ft × 30 ft = 240 sq. ft.

Next, we need to consider the window area which is specified as 30 sq. ft. To find the area that needs to be covered by siding, we subtract the area of the window from the total area of the wall:

Area to be covered = Total wall area - Window area

Area to be covered = 240 sq. ft. - 30 sq. ft. = 210 sq. ft.

This is the area that needs to be covered with siding. The siding is 1 x 8, which refers to boards that are actually around 0.75 inches thick by 7.25 inches wide. To calculate how much 1 x 8 siding is needed, we need to consider the effective coverage area of each board.
