it depends on how tall and wide your roof is (varys from person to person)
The roofing industry speaks of a "square" as meaning 100 square feet. So, if your contractor says your roof is about 9 squares, he means it will require about 900 square feet of materials in order to cover the surface area of your roof.
When one number is multiplied by itself, the number is said to be the square root of the product. 6 x 6 = 36..... so 6 is the square root of 36.
assuming standard sheet is 4 x 8 = 32 square feet roof is 29 x 45 = 1305 sq ft you need 1305/32 = 41 sheets
a roofing square is 100 sf. There are formulas out there that allow you to use the pitch and outer dimensions of the roof to figure out the number of squares. If not, calculate the square footage and divide by 100 - that's the number of squares you have...
Unless you have a flat roof, no; the surface area of the roof will be larger than the ground area of the building.

Use the square footage of your house, and the size of your roof should be about the same. Be carefull not to include the yard in the footage or anything that is not covered by the roof, then divide the number by the number of stories your house is.
3 bundles of shingles per 100 sq ft of roof
That really depends on several different variables including the square footage of the roof itself and the size / type of the tiles being used. Most of the time when buying roofing tiles / shingles it will state on the packaging how many square's it will cover. It should also state the "square footage" covered as well. So once you have your square footage you can then figure out how many tiles / shingles it will take to cover your roof. Don't forget to add 10 to 15% for waste in your calculations.

The square footage of your house is not the same as the square footage of your roof if there is any pitch. If you are asking aboutasphalt shingles, generally each bundle covers 33.3 square feet. Therefore find the square footage of your roof, divide it by 33.3 to find the number of bundles, then multiply the original square footage by 5-10% to get the number of additional bundles for cutoffs and starter strip. The variation in percentage accounts for the number and length of valleys of the roof. Example:[@5%]roof =1500 ft2 --> (1500/33.3=45.05) (1500x.05=75 -->75/33.3=2.25)45.05 + 2.25= (48) bundles
You cannot calculate the square footage of a house roof like this (unless you have a flat roof). The simplest way would be to go up on your roof and measure its different surfaces, however if you dont want to do that, you would need to know several differen things to calculate the surface area -- such as the pitch and angel -- how much hangover you have. Basically you should save yourself time and go up on your roof and measure it
measure the square footage first. one square of shingles (3 bundles) covers 100 sqft. divide the square footage by 100 and that's how many squares of shingles you need (be sure to buy enough extra to cap the roof with and compensate for waste at the ends. (starter and ender shingles)
The accurate answer depends on square footage & pitch.
