Back of the Napkin AP per square feet?

Question

Hey, Does anyone have a back of the napkin, APs per square feet that they use for r510s?We've been tasked with figuring out X number of APs for a customer, and of course it's a "secure" place and they will not provide a floor plan. So, is there a 1 ap for X amount of square feet that I can use to get a base on?

I have 15 APs (model R320) in a 10,000sq ft home. WiFi signal drops if not directly in line of sight of a room’s AP. It will not penetrate most walls, especially stone, brick, and metal. So, my estimate is each AP will cover around 150-250sq ft.

I found two links that can help size a number of APs for this environment.https://theruckusroom.ruckuswireless.com/wired-wireless/wifi-101/multiple-access-points-too-much-of-a-good-thing/ https://www.accessagility.com/blog/how-to-estimate-number-of-access-points-needed I hope this information can be helpful to you.
