Correct Answer

C) 260 panels

Sheet count equals area with waste divided by coverage per sheet or panel, rounded up.

Answer Options
A
248 panels
B
130 panels
C
260 panels
D
264 panels

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 248 panels

248 panels is below the supported result for frp wall panels; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option B: 130 panels

130 panels is below the supported result for frp wall panels; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option D: 264 panels

264 panels is above the supported result for frp wall panels; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to sheet, adjust for count, then let Carpenter Checks set the finish line.
