How much total board feet of strip flooring is required for a living room of 14' x 24' and an entrance hall of 4' x 10'?

To calculate the total board feet of strip flooring required, you first need to determine the area of each room in square feet and then sum those areas.

1. For the living room, which measures 14 feet by 24 feet, the area can be calculated as follows:

• Area = Length x Width

• Area = 14' x 24' = 336 square feet.

2. For the entrance hall, which measures 4 feet by 10 feet, the area is:

• Area = Length x Width

• Area = 4' x 10' = 40 square feet.

3. Now, add the areas of both rooms together to get the total area that requires flooring:

• Total Area = Area of Living Room + Area of Entrance Hall

• Total Area = 336 sq ft + 40 sq ft = 376 square feet.

To convert square feet into board feet, knowing that 1 board foot is equal to a 1-foot-wide board that is 1 foot long, you don’t necessarily convert directly from square feet as it depends on the width of the strip flooring. However, if strip flooring is measured in units of board feet, you can provide the calculation of
