I'm pretty sure they will be the standard smd5050 type as that is the most relevant. As for syncing all the rolls together since you are adding more than what the original controller will be designed for, unless it's one of the high amperage units, your going to require an amplifier unit that will let you inject 12V power mid way to give enough power for the extra length.

I finally just got my package of led light strips.... my father has been wanting to do a man cave in his garage... he has been gone for two weeks and me and my 3 friends have been working hard for when he gets back tomorrow he will have a whole new garage for his gaming nerdy fun stuff! so I realized after I ordered that the led light strips were to little and bought more and it measures perfectly but it comes wit 2 strips is there a way that you can hook them up together and it basically syncs or no?

Are they rolls of RGB LED's if so it needs to go through to the controller which also need to be able to sustain the extra load from two extra strips of LED's.

Just make sure you do this at the end of the first strip and have it so you parallel ( or use a splitter) off the amplifier with large enough 12V power supply for the two extra rolls of LED.
