You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the area of 2830 pieces of wood measuring 3.5cm by 14cm is
2830%2A%283.5cm%2A14cm+%29=2830%2A49cm%5E2=138670cm%5E2
since you covering floor, convert that area into m%5E2
1cm=0.01m=>1cm%5E2=0.0001m%5E2
138670%2A0.0001m%5E2=13.867m%5E2 or = 13+m%5E2+86+dm%5E2+70+cm%5E2
