Explanation / Answer

Ans 1.

The total length of the three sides is the sum of the three sides, i.e. 15'-7'' + 20'-4'' + 26'-2'' = 62'-1''

Ans 2.

The length of the board after the piece was removed will be, [2'- 10 3/4'' - 7/16''] = 2' - 10 5/16''

Ans 3.

Total plywood sheet required = 15* 1 1/4'' + 15* 1/8'' = 1' - 8 5/8''

Ans 4.

The actual width of the stud is 3 3/8'' + 2* 5/8'' = 4 5/8''
