But excuse my ignorance , but what do i multiply with the width? I am wanting to get a price for an 80 square metre area. many thanks. You need to know the width of you floor board If you multiply the length of the board by the width of the board you get the area of the board...ie 1 linear metre of a 10cm wide floor board will be 0.1 square metres. Or if you need to know how many linear metres you need for 80 sq metres divide 80 by the width of the floor board in metres. Hope that makes sense.

example to cover 80meters squared with 1.8 meters long by 15 centimeters wide planks 80 / (1.8 * .15 ) => 80 / .27 = 296.30 units would be required Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 7Sep 29, 2008 4:02 pm Snake wonderland Thanks Casa for your advice!

Try this, its excellent: http://www.measurement.gov.au/index.cfm?event=conversions Thanks for the link, but it doesnt show you how to convert square metres into Linear. Thanks 'chelle and mikkyg! I kind of understand it. But I thought timber comes in random lengths, how would i find out the length of the material. I know the width of the timber is 80mm. thanks. Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 8Sep 29, 2008 4:24 pm You can buy it in a varierty of lengths, so best to check with your local bunnings or where ever your are getting it from to see what they stock it in. Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 9Sep 29, 2008 4:30 pm Give us the length (or area of interest) and the width of the material. We'll take it from there.
For example if you had carpet with a width of 3.6 m then: 1) A 2 metre length would cover 7.2 square metres (that is, multiply by width), or 2) 10 square meters would require 2.778 metre length of carpet (that is, divide by width) Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 10Sep 29, 2008 4:57 pm wonderland I know the width of the timber is 80mm. So for 80sq metres with a 80mm width board... 80sq m/0.08m = 1000 linear metres.....does that sound about right??

130mm boards - 7.69 L/M per sq. metre Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 13Sep 29, 2008 5:30 pm Thank you to everyone who has helped!!
I'm not very mathematical so all those calculations were confusing me. Thanks to Luke, that's exactly what I wanted. All the calculations all were good, it all got to the same point. But Luke's one was easier to process!! Thanks again!! Re: How to convert Linear metre into metre square? 14Apr 02, 2009 12:06 am It's simple. If you have 80 sq. meters, just divide it with the width of the board. Eg if your floorboards are 19cm = 0.19m wide, you will need 80/0.19 = 421 linear meters. They suggest to add at least 10% for cutoffs, so you will need 421 + 42.1 = around 463 linear meters. consider putting in wall WC instead of robe in the same bedroom, then it might be doable to hook up to the existing piping. 4 6599 Depends...
