About Carpet Yardage
Carpet is typically sold by the square yard. Standard roll widths are 12ft and 15ft. Always consider waste factor for cutting, seams, and pattern matching (higher for patterned carpets).

Carpet Yardage Formula
Square Yards = (Length × Width × 1.1) ÷ 9
The carpet yardage is calculated by multiplying room length and width, adding 10% waste factor, then converting to square yards (divide by 9 for feet). For multiple rooms, sum all areas first.
