Adding 1 gives us 1 1 9 10 9 then taking the square root gives us about 1 0541.
Square area of roof with 9 12 pitch.
They have a pitch ranging from 4 12 to 9 12.
Conventional roofs are the easiest to construct and you can walk on them safely.
See the image below for more explanation on rise run and pitch.
Roof pitch is a determining factor for cost of the roof as well as the roof area and the type of materials used.
You will need to express this size in terms of square feet.
However shingles are packaged in a way that they are light enough for the average person to carry around.
The first step in a free roofing estimate is measuring the roof dimensions.
A 12 in 12 pitch is a steep 45 degree angle roof.
You can also calculate roof pitch even without using a roof slope calculator.
A moderate 6 in 12 roof pitch means the roof rises 6 inches for every 12 horizontal inches it runs.
So keeping with our roof pitch of 4 this gives us 1 9.
Get your roof size by using this roof pitch calculator.

Outside of the u s a degree angle is typically used.
Pitch multiplier 0 12 1.
A square of shingles is the number of shingles needed to cover 100 sq feet of roof area.
For example a 4 12 pitch roof that is 100 square feet.
Tips on measuring for roofing.
Keep in mind that the average size of a roof is 1 700 square feet so your total will likely be 10 higher or lower than this figure.
1square of roofing covers 100 square feet of roof a bundle is 1.
Thus a moderate 6 in 12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 6 inches vertically for every 12 horizontal inches it runs.
We included a roof pitch chart below the 7 12 example image and the calculator below that.
Roof pitch area multipliers.
If this isn t practical then perform the same measurement on the underside of the roof.
Roof is 6 12 pitch and measures at 2 400 square feet so 2400 x 1 12 2 688 2 88 sqs added for pitch.
For instance a 7 12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 7 inches for every 12 horizontal inches.
Roof pitch degree table.
A 12 in 12 pitch is a steep 45 degree angle roof.
These roofs have a pitch less than 4 12.
Add 1 then take the square root.
100 1 054 105 4ft 2.
As a rule of thumb there are 3 bundles to a square assuming that you are using three tab strip shingles.
To accurately calculate the area of your roof you must first determine its slope or pitch.
