For an estimating exercise only, divide a 36 ft by 14 ft veneer area by the supplied allowance of 2.67 sq ft per anchor. What whole-anchor lower bound results before spacing-layout and edge checks?

Correct Answer

A) 189 anchors

Area = 36 × 14 = 504 square feet. The supplied estimating factor gives 504/2.67 = 188.764..., rounded up to 189 whole anchors. This is only the area-based lower bound. Layout spacing, edges, openings and design conditions can require more; it is not a code-approved final anchor count.

Answer Options
A
189 anchors
B
172 anchors
C
176 anchors
D
200 anchors
