Assume each balloon fills a circular area equal to Pi (3.14) times the
radius of the balloon squared. Therefore, for 11" balloons, each one fills
3.14 times the sqaure of 5.5 (30.25) inches,  = 94.985 square inches, or
about 100.

Then, calcluate the area of the ceiling in inches - 144 x 144 = 20,736 and
divide by the area of the balloon.

So, maximum number of balloons required is 20,736 divided by 100, or 207
balloons.

OK? !

Hi out there.  How do you calculate the number of ceiling balloons needed
for a specific area, such as over a dance floor?  Does anyone have the
mathematical equation on how many balloons it would take if the dance floor,
for example,  is 12 x 12 in size?  Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a bunch ;^)
