Drywall
Drywall has several common names, such as gypsum board and sheetrock. It is mainly used in the construction of walls, but also has other uses. A plaster is made of gypsum, poured flat and smooth, and then wrapped in paper. The pieces are joined with strips of paper, and cemented down with a compound known as "mud." After the mud is dry, it is sanded and the wall is finished with paint, texture, wallpaper, or a variety of other creative means.

How much sheetrock do i need for a room that is 9ft x12ft x 8ft?
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. The production process involves mixing gypsum with additives, forming it into sheets, and then drying it to create a sturdy, lightweight material used in construction.
