Q

Linear feet of main T’s in a room with a bulkhead along one wall.

A
  • Reduce room by the bulkhead width to determine working area. They give you the direction of the main Ts (along the length of the room), but it may seem counter intuitive. Ultimately with 4x2 tiles you can figure out your # of rows and columns. If you divide the answers by the length of the room only one will match up with Rows or columns -1.
