Given:
The base of the triangle = 8.6 yd
The height of the triangle = 10.9 yd
To find the area of the triangle.
Formula
The area of a triangle with b as base and h as height is
Now,
Taking, b= 8.6 and h = 10.9 we get,
sq yd
or, sq yd
Hence,
The area of the given triangle is 46.87 sq yd.
Solution :
Given :
Span of the roof = 48 feet
Length of the rafter = 30 feet (including the 4 feet overhung)
So, for the 30 feet long rafter, 26 feet will be rafter length from the high point of the roof to the edge of the roof and 4 feet will be the roof overhung.
Therefore, the horizontal span per rafter is
= 24 feet
a). So the rise of the roof is
= 10 feet
b). Pinch of the roof is
c). The percent of the roof used as overhung is
= 13.33 %
