calculate square metres

[peterbar]

How can I work out what area my kitchen covers in square metres? it is 10foot 10in x 9foot 5ins. I am buying laminate floor but its sold in packs in sq metres!

Thanks.

Approximately 91cm to a foot. 10ft 10 ~=9.86m and 9ft5 ~=8.82m. 9.86x8.86 = 87.36m^2 (sq m). Happy for any one to give a more accurate answer.

It's 91cm to a yard, not foot.

the approximate measurements are 3.25m x 2.82m giving an area of 9.165 sq. m.

3.31m x 2.87m = 9.5m�

What size pieces are in each pack?

[peterbar]

its 1.73sq m per pack, so im thinking 6 - 7packs now, to be on the safe side.

Thanks for all the answers, i just couldnt get my head around it!

Convert dimension of room to square inches:
10ft 10in x 9ft 5in = 130 in x 113 in = 14690 square inches

1 meter = 39.37 inches & 1 square meter = 1550 square inches.

Dimensions converted to square meters:
14690 / 1550 = 9.48 square meters
1 pack = 1.73 square meters so
9.48 / 1.73 = 5.48 packs.

To convert a pack to square inches:
1 square meter = 1550 square inches.
1 pack (1.73 square meters) x 1550 square inches = 2682 square inches so
14690 / 2682 = 5.48 packs.
