117 square feet equals how many square meters?

117 square feet = about 10.9 square meters (10.8696557 square meters)

How many tiles do you need to tile a 260 sq foot room?

This depends on the area of the tile. For example, if the tiles were exactly one square foot each, then you would need about 260 of them. I say "about" 260 because - although that would give you the correct footage - it does not account for needing to cut the tiles, fit them around pillars, doorways and such.

For a decent approximation, assuming the room is rectangular:

  • measure the length and width of the room
  • divide those numbers by the width of the tiles in use (assuming the tiles are square), rounding up.
  • multiply those numbers together.

If there are large areas of the room that won't be getting floored (eg. a pillar or stairwell), you can subtract their area (this time rounding down) from the count in order to cut back on the need for supplies purchased.

17x32x156 equals how many cubic feet?

If the dimensions given are inches, there are 49.11 cu. ft.

If they are in feet there are 84,864 cu. ft.

What is the sq ft of a silo 12 ft round by 55 ft tall?

There is no sensible answer to this question. A square foot is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. However, the dimensions of the silo are those of a volume [12 feet round by 55 ft tall], with dimensions [L3]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information.

How much is 3705405 square miles in km?

This question doesn't make any sense. A square mile is a two dimensional measurement of area, a kilometre is a one dimensional measurement of length. The two measures are incompatible - so you cannot have any square mile in a kilometre or kilometres in a square mile.

Can you nail 14 ft and 6 ft boards together to make a 20 ft beam?

This can be done, but the board will be unstable and may not hold up well without strong braces, it would be better to nail two 10FT boards together with strong braces. Or it capable to make the beam into triangles, because a triangle is the strongest source that has been tested.

How much sq ft in 3975 cu ft?

Square feet is a measure of AREA. Cubic Feet is a measure of VOLUME.

So it cannot be said that there are a number of square feet in a measure of cubic feet.

However, If you wanted to find the area of the rectangular floor of a cuboid given that the height is 5 feet, then 3975 ÷ 5 = 795 square feet, which could equate to a floor with dimensions of 15 ft x 53 ft.

How many lineal meters in 280 meters squared?

A square metre is a unit of area. A metre is a unit of distance. The two units are therefore incompatible.
