sheet rock comes in 4 x 8 sheets; the room of 9 x 12 has a perimeter of 9+9+12+12 = 42 feet. At 4 feet per eight foot high panel that is 42/4 = 10.5 sheets, so 11 sheets will do it

Drywall is primarily manufactured by companies that specialize in building materials, with some of the largest producers including USG Corporation, National Gypsum, and CertainTeed. These companies create drywall panels by sandwiching a layer of gypsum plaster between two sheets of heavy paper or fiberglass.

You don't put 'spackle' on at all. After taping the drywall seams you 'mud' them with drywall compound. -It is a totally different substance from 'spackle', which should be used only to fill small holes and irregularities in wall.
