BF = nominal thickness" (t) x nominal width" (w) x linear feet'(LF)/ 12"

then BFx12"/ (t)x(w)= LF

so if you have 200 BF of 2x4

200'x12"/2"x4"= 2400/8= 300 LF of lumber

How many linear feet is 350 square feet?

To determine the linear feet from square feet, you need to know the width of the area. If, for example, the width is 10 feet, you would divide 350 square feet by 10 feet, resulting in 35 linear feet. The formula is Linear Feet = Square Feet ÷ Width. Without knowing the width, you can't calculate the linear feet.


How many square feet in a 2x5.5x12 board?

To calculate the square footage of a board, you multiply its length by its width. For a board that is 2 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall with a length of 12 feet, first convert the dimensions to feet: 2 inches is approximately 0.167 feet and 5.5 inches is about 0.458 feet. Then, the square footage is 0.167 feet (width) x 12 feet (length) = 2.004 square feet.


If you have 90 square yards of carpet how many linear feet will that cover?

You can't calculate linear footage based on square yardage alone. If you meant square footage it will cover 810 sq. ft..


How do you convert square footage to linear footage?

Divide the square footage by the width in feet. Example: 20 sq. ft roll of material is made up of 10 linear feet by 2 feet in width. 20 square feet divided by 2 feet wide equals 10 linear feet and 2 feet wide. For linear feet ask yourself how long is it. 100 sq. ft. 1 foot wide would be 100 linear feet long.


How many 2x6x16 i need on 1500 square feet?

To determine how many 2x6x16 boards you need for 1,500 square feet, first calculate the area covered by one board. A 2x6 board is actually 1.5 inches by 5.5 inches in dimensions, which translates to 0.5 square feet per board. To cover 1,500 square feet, you would need 1,500 / 0.5 = 3,000 boards.

What is conversion board feet to square feet or square feet to board feet?

you can't straight convert a linear measure to an area measure... missing info. If the board is 12" wide, then the ratio is one to one. if the board is 6" wide, the linear footage needed would be double. It's a simple ratio. width of board in inches/12 * length in feet = square feet. length in feet = square feet * 12 / width
