Carpet Area Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Carpet Area.
- Where CA is the Carpet Area (ft^2)
- BA is the total built-up area (ft^2)
To calculate the carpet area, multiply the built-up area by .70.
How to Calculate Carpet Area?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Carpet Area.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total built up area (ft^2).
- The total built up area (ft^2) is given as: 1000.
- Finally, calculate the Carpet Area using the equation above:
CA = BA * .70
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
CA = 1000 * .70 = 700 (ft^2)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total built up area (ft^2) = 2000
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
CA = BA * .70 = ?
