## How to Calculate Baseboard Length
### Formula
**Net Length = Perimeter - (Number of Doors x Door Width)**
**Total with Waste = Net Length x (1 + Waste %)**
Measure the perimeter of the room and subtract the width of every doorway (baseboards do not run across door openings). Add 10% for waste from cuts at corners and joints. Baseboard is typically sold in 8-foot or 12-foot lengths.

Ejemplo Resuelto
A 14 x 12 foot room with two 3-foot wide doorways and 10% waste.
- Perimeter = 2 x (14 + 12) = 52 ft
- Door deduction = 2 x 3 = 6 ft
- Net baseboard = 52 - 6 = 46 ft
- With 10% waste = 46 x 1.10 = 50.6 ft
- Pieces needed = ceil(50.6 / 8) = 7 eight-foot pieces
