This tool calculates the total area of your roof based on your input.
How to Use the Roof Area Calculator
This roof area calculator computes the total area of a roof based on its length, width, and slope. The tool is very useful for estimating the amount of roofing material required for a project.
Instructions:
- Enter the Length of the roof in meters.
- Enter the Width of the roof in meters.
- Enter the Slope of the roof in degrees.
- Click ‘Calculate’ to get the total roof area.
How It Works:
The calculator uses the Pythagorean theorem to compute the roof’s surface area. The formula it uses is:
Roof Area = Length × Width × cos(Slope in degrees)
This helps to get the projection of the roof’s area accounting for the slope.
Limitations:
- This calculator assumes the roof is a simple, single-plane shape.
- Complex roofs with multiple planes or varying slopes require more advanced methods to calculate the area.
- The slope must be between 0 and 90 degrees.
