in the pics
Step-by-step explanation:
In case you are wondering, I used the pythagorean theorem. If you want to learn how to use it I suggest you google it, there are plenty of sites that explain how to use it.
If you have any questions about the way I solved it, don't hesitate to ask me in the comments below :)
The pitch of the roof is given by the ratio of the rise to the run of the roof, which is the slope of the rafter
Please find attached the simple <u>diagram of the house</u> with all measurements labeled
The reason the above value for the pitch and the diagram are correct are as follows:
The given parameters are;
Width of the section of the house on which the gable of the roof is to be placed = 50 feet
Length of the over hang on the sides of the roof = 1 foot each
Total span of the roof = 52 feet
Horizontal length of each rafter, the run = 26 feet
The height of the ridge above the top of the frame, the rise = 12 feet
Required:
Solution:
Please find attached the <u>diagram</u> of the house showing the measurements for the roof parameters and the section of the house where the gable roof is to be placed
