How do I find the required amount of carpet when my rooms all run together? The main floor of my Townhouse is all open. Do I take the dimensions of the entire floor and subtract the SQ ft of the unuseable space (like the open stairs, bath, foyer and kitchen)?

Lee,
To find the number of square feet or square yards in your room, just type the dimensions of your room in the boxes above and click on the calculate button.
If you want do the calculations yourself, the formula is:
width x length = square feet
Divide that number by 9 to get the number of square yards.

Am I missing something. The instructions don’t say how to calculate amount of carpet, wood flooring, tile etc. needed.

Do you multiply the width X Depth and divide by three to get square yards etc.

It has been so long since I have figured how to do this that I have forgotten.

Sorry if I seem so dense, but I need to measure for wood flooring for my upstairs.

Thanks for your help.
