Roof area to squares.

10 feet by 10 feet 100 square feet. The answer is the number of roofing squares for the roof. It will also give you the perimeter of the shape of the roof. Because each 100 square feet of roof is one roofing square divide the total area from step 1 by 100.

For example consider a roof that is 10 by 10. This is the same area as a roof that is 4 x 25 or a roof that is 5 x 20. After you ve done this you can click along the outer edge of the roof that you wish to calculate the area for. Get your roof size by using this roof pitch calculator.

Using an international foot of exactly 0 3048 meters length. Add 1 then take the square root. So keeping with our roof pitch of 4 this gives us 1 9. Adding 1 gives us 1 1 9 10 9 then taking the square root gives us about 1 0541.
