First compute the total area.
Floor and ceiling are 30x40 = 1200 sq ft each.
Two walls are 40 x 12 = 480 sq ft (each)
The other two wall are 30 x 12 = 360 sq ft (each)
Add them up and subtract the window area of 40 sq ft.
A = 2(1200 + 480 + 360) - 40 = ?
For the number of tiles needed, divide by the area of each tile, which is (2/3)^2 = 4/9 sq ft per tile.
i get the "how many square feet of tiling is needed?" part. but each tile is given in inches and area is in feet. i don't get how to convert it to inches. please explain again...
How many square feet of tiling is needed? 4040sq ft.
How many tiles should be ordered? ...
8 inches = 8/12 = 2/3 feet
so
8*8 = 64 in^2
or
2/3 * 2/3 = 4/9 ft^2 as Dr WLS said
You calculate the ares in square feet and divide it by 4/9 ft^2 /tile
In other words multiply the square feet needed by 9/4
