Hello, Great news...YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! lol
for the construction on the house simply:
Multiply :
So the house is 1,200 Sq. Ft.
Then: Multiply the area of the house by the Price per Sq. Ft.

So the cost of constrution on a house 40 by 30 ft long is $64,800.

For the question: how many 8 in square flagstones are needed for a patio 14ft long and 10ft wide?
Yes you multiply 14 by 10:

So the Patio is 140 Sq.Ft. wide.

Now: Multiply 140 by 12 --so that the area will be in inches--
the patio equals 1,680 inches.

NOW divide 1,680 by 8:
(this is because you need to know how many 8-inch squares are in the 1,680 inch area)

SO, There are 210 8-inch square Flagstones needed.

Hope this is useful! If you have any questions e-mail me at Southqueensb@yahoo.com
