Question

Calculate a rough estimate of the total lineal footage of lumber needed for a rectangular house 35’ x 40’?

A. 375’

B. 1,500’

C. 3,000’

D. 750’

Answer 1

B. 1,500’

Explanation:

Given;

dimension of the rectangular house, = 35’ x 40’

The actual total linear footage of lumber needed = 35’ x 40’ = 1,400'

The rough estimate should be greater than the actual estimate in 100s;

rough estimate = 1,400' + 100' = 1,500'

Therefore, the rough estimate of the total linear footage of lumber needed is 1,500'.
