What is the calculated area of 1 x 10 bevel siding needed for a 24' x 50' building with a 200 sq. ft. window and door area?

To determine the total area of bevel siding required, start by calculating the total surface area of the building's exterior. The building has a footprint of 24 feet by 50 feet.

First, calculate the total area of the four walls. Assuming there are no other architectural features that complicate the calculations (like overhangs or structural elements), the surface area of the walls can be calculated as follows:

1. Calculate the perimeter of the building:

• Perimeter = 2 * (length + width) = 2 * (50' + 24') = 2 * 74' = 148'.

2. Calculate the total wall area by multiplying the perimeter by the height. Assuming a standard height of 10 feet for the walls:

• Total wall area = Perimeter * Height = 148' * 10' = 1480 sq. ft.

3. Subtract the area for windows and doors:

• Total area for windows and doors is given as 200 sq. ft.

• Adjusted area for siding = Total wall area - Area for windows and doors = 1480 sq. ft. - 200 sq. ft. = 1280 sq. ft
