Surely that cannot be right as if i add all the inches up it becomes 24.7396 metres. So, if it works out at £15 a metre then it will cost me £371.094 for carpets 
Seems to cheap to me

If you can't work it out, you deserve to pay more.

205 * 120 > 5.207*3.048 = 15.870936
120 * 155 > 3.048* 3.937 = 11.999976
205 * 40 > 5.207*1.016 = 5.290312
70 * 59 >1.778*1.4986 = 2.6645108
=35.8257348m^2
35.8257348m^2*£15/m =£537.386022

1st room is 17'2" x 10' which workd out at 21.6m2
2nd room is 13' x 10' which is 12.4m2
3rd measurements seem like maybe some sort of hall and stairs maybe due to sizes which would mean you would need to buy 21.6 of carpet due to the widths you can buy it in which is always 13'/4m so all in all you would need to buy 55.6m2 of carpet @£15m2 whcih works out £834 go to carpetright lol its madness time 50% off lol
