Width Of A Roof

The total run is the distance from the peak to the edge of the roof which in this case is the total width divided in half which is equal to 10 feet or 120 inches.

Width of a roof.

Roof pitch is the measurement of a roof s vertical rise divided by its horizontal run. To measure a roof start by measuring the length and width of the building s exterior walls and multiplying them to get the area. In the united states a run of 12 inches 1 foot is used and pitch is measured as the rise of the roof over 12 inches. It is often compared to slope but is not exactly the same.

Angle the angle of a roof is the same as the roof s slope except instead of being. Since pitch is the rise over a 12 inch run divide the run by 12 to get the multiplier in this case 120 12 10. The roof area ra is calculated easily. Slope the slope of a roof is represented as x 12 where x is the number of inches in rise for every 12 inches of run this is very useful information for many purposes especially for roof framing the slope sometimes called pitch is calibrated on speed squares.
