## How to Calculate Hardwood Flooring
### Formula
**Flooring Needed = Room Area × (1 + Waste Factor)**
Measure the room length and width to get square footage. Add 10% waste for standard straight installations and 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns. Hardwood flooring is typically sold in boxes of 18-25 sq ft.

Esempio Risolto
A room 16 ft by 14 ft with 10% waste at $5.00/sq ft.
- Floor area = 16 × 14 = 224 sq ft
- With 10% waste = 224 × 1.10 = 246.4 sq ft
- Boxes (20 sq ft each) = ceil(246.4 / 20) = 13 boxes
- Material cost = 246.4 × $5.00 = $1,232.00
