Approximately 3 shingles used to cove the area of the roof.
According to the statement
we have to find the number of shingles used to cover the roof.
So, For this purpose, we know that the
one side of the roof measures 15'x 36
And we have given that the both sides of a gable roof are the same size.
So, For this purpose,
The roof is a of a rectangle shape so,
Area of rectangle = 2(L+B)
Then
Area of rectangle = 2(L+B)
Area of rectangle = 2(15+36)
Area of rectangle = 102 ft.
Then
Area of shingles = 2(L+B)
Area of shingles = 2(16+2.5)
Area of shingles = 37
then number of shingles used = 37/102
So, Approximately 3 shingles used to cove the area of the roof.
