Chapter 8.2, Problem 4CE

Construction The amount of horizontal wood siding (in square feet) needed to cover a given wall area can be calculated from the formula

$\text{Area}\text{of}\text{siding}\text{(sq}\text{ft})=K\times \text{ total}\text{area}\text{to}\text{be}\text{covered}\text{(sq}\text{ft})$

where K is a constant that depends on the type and size of the siding used. How much 1-by-6 rustic shiplapped drop siding is needed to cover a rectangular wall 60 ft by 14 ft? Use K = 2.19 and round to the nearest ten square feet.
