    Are these 3 seperate rooms or a large room split? Do determine quantity of carpet needed you will need to look at how the areas relate to each other. Carpet comes in 12' or 15' wide rolls. An estimate using the sizes you've provided would be using 12' which is the most common width:

    12 x 14

    12 x 16

    12 x 18

    12 x 12

    720 square feet

    $1500-$3600 depending on what you pick.

    Take care,

    Multiply the width times the length and divide by 9 for square yards. Then obviously you multiply the cost per sq yard by the number of yards you need. don't forget you'll probably want to put down padding under the carpet which is additional money.

    go look at carpet you are interested in and get price quotes for sq. footages and then compare all the prices...that will give you an estimate...or you can just call a carpet professional and have them do it...
