Home Depot Assessment Home Depot Math & Measurements 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A customer wants to tile a rectangular bathroom floor that is 8 feet by 10 feet. What is the total area they need to cover?
- 36 square feet
- 80 square feet (Correct answer)
- 64 square feet
- 18 square feet
Correct answer: 80 square feet
Area = length × width, so 8 × 10 = 80 square feet.
Question 2: How many inches are in 3.5 feet?
- 36 inches
- 40 inches
- 42 inches (Correct answer)
- 48 inches
Correct answer: 42 inches
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 3.5 × 12 = 42 inches.
Question 3: A customer needs to install baseboard trim around a rectangular room that measures 12 feet by 15 feet. How many linear feet of trim are needed (ignoring doorways)?
- 27 linear feet
- 54 linear feet (Correct answer)
- 180 linear feet
- 45 linear feet
Correct answer: 54 linear feet
Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (12 + 15) = 2 × 27 = 54 linear feet.
Question 4: A board measures 144 inches. How many feet is this?
- 10 feet
- 14 feet
- 12 feet (Correct answer)
- 16 feet
Correct answer: 12 feet
Divide by 12 to convert inches to feet: 144 ÷ 12 = 12 feet.
Question 5: A customer is buying lumber priced at $2.50 per linear foot. If they need 24 linear feet, what is the total cost before tax?
- $48.00
- $54.00
- $60.00 (Correct answer)
- $52.50
Correct answer: $60.00
$2.50 × 24 = $60.00 total cost before tax.

- 1 gallon (Correct answer)
- 2 gallons
- 3 gallons
- 4 gallons
Correct answer: 1 gallon
The deck area is 20 × 12 = 240 square feet, which is less than 250, so 1 gallon is sufficient.

- $71.96
- $72.96 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: $72.96
3 × $15.99 = $47.97, plus $24.99 = $72.96 total.
