    Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    · Size of stud = 2" x 6"

    · Height of Wall = 8 ft

    · Top plates = 2

    · Bottom Plate = 1

    BF stands for board feet in lumber/wood terminology. It is the unit of volume.

    1 BF (Board feet) = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 inch

    Since there are total three plates at top and bottom, we have to deduct their thickness from wall height to calculate height of stud.

    Height of stud = 8' - 3 x 2" = 7'6" = 7.5 ft

    Board feet of one stud = 7.50 6/12 x 2 = 7.50 BD

    Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD
