"In this video clip, I will be talking about calculating materials for drywall. Each sheet of drywall is 4 feet, so I am going to go ahead and measure the length of my wall. The measurement of my wall is 23 feet long so I am going to take 23 feet long divided by 4 feet for each section of drywall and that will give me 5 full pieces of drywall and a little bit of another piece of drywall. So I know that I will need at least 6 full sheets of drywall to cover this wall when I go buy my drywall. My next wall measures 20 feet in length divided by 4 feet for each section of drywall. It gives me 5 full sheets of drywall that I am going to have to buy. Now I am going to go ahead and buy an extra sheet of drywall just in case I make any mistakes. So I have 6 sheets on my first wall, 5 sheets on my second wall and then 1 extra sheet just in case I make a mistake, which gives me a total of 12 sheets of 4 feet wide by 8 feet high drywall and again, I chose a 5/8’s inch thick piece of drywall."
