How do you calculate the square footage of a cottage style roof?
I'm assuming by "cottage style roof" you mean the shape which is sort-of achieved by using two trapezium shapes to depict the front and back of the roof (shorter edge being the uppermost edge) and then using two triangles for both the sides. (A trapezium shape is like half a hexagon). If this is the case, you calculate the area of the front of the roof by measuring the lower edge of the trapezium/roof and adding that measurement to the upper edge of the trapezium/roof, dividing by two, then multiplying by the distance between the upper and lower edge. (I.e exactly the same as finding the area of a trapezium). Assuming the back of the roof is the same, multiply the "front of the roof" measurement by 2. This gives you the area of "front and back of roof". To include the sides of the roof, measure the lower edge of the triangle-like shape and multiply by the vertical height. Add this measurement to the "front and back of roof measurement" to get "total area of roof". If you have kept all measurements in feet during the process, you will end up with "total area of roof in square feet" as required. Of course, it's possible that the roof may not fit the description of specific shapes, in which case it's best to make an estimate then add on a bit extra.
What is a Type of roof with two slopes on four sides?
That is a hip roof.
Which shape has 5 flat faces and 6 vertices?
Imagine a house's roof -- two triangles joined by lines to their matching vertices. This gives you 6 vertices and only 5 sides.
What poygon has 5 sides and 2 right angles?
It is an irregular pentagon - a bit like a child's silhouette of a house with a pitched roof.
Is the shape of a house a rigid shape?
Is the "shape of a house" like a child's silhouette of a house? A horizontal base with vertical uprights at each end, and a roof consisting of two sloped lines. That is a pentagon and it is not a rigid shape. The only polygon that is rigid is a triangle.
What does a pentagon shape look like?
A pentagon shape looks like a house with the slanted roof and square bottom. It is a closed, plane, 5-sided figure with all straight sides. A regular pentagon has all 5 sides the same length. These are all pentagons.
How would it like if a pentagon have two pairs of congruent sides and two pairs of congruent angles?
It could look like a child's drawing of a house: a rectangular shape with a triangular roof on top.The vertical sides of the rectangle, and the sloped sides of the roof would be the two congruent pairs of sides.The angles at the base of the rectangle and at the base of the roof would be the two pairs of congruent angles.It could look like a child's drawing of a house: a rectangular shape with a triangular roof on top.The vertical sides of the rectangle, and the sloped sides of the roof would be the two congruent pairs of sides.The angles at the base of the rectangle and at the base of the roof would be the two pairs of congruent angles.It could look like a child's drawing of a house: a rectangular shape with a triangular roof on top.The vertical sides of the rectangle, and the sloped sides of the roof would be the two congruent pairs of sides.The angles at the base of the rectangle and at the base of the roof would be the two pairs of congruent angles.It could look like a child's drawing of a house: a rectangular shape with a triangular roof on top.The vertical sides of the rectangle, and the sloped sides of the roof would be the two congruent pairs of sides.The angles at the base of the rectangle and at the base of the roof would be the two pairs of congruent angles.
What is a gable shaped roof looks like?
This is triangular in shape or peak that is created on the side. Because of its shape, it allows leaves, rain to fall from the roof away from the house. Gabled roofs differ in pitch and steep which serves the purpose of protecting the roof from the effects of water.
What shape is a pentagon with only one pair of parallel sides?
a house shape: a floor, 2 parallel walls and an angled roof
Is a Mansard roof difficult to install?
A mansard roof is difficult to install due to its shape and structure. What makes a mansard roof so difficult to install is that there are 4 sides all of which have different slopes.
What does Jamestown look like?
The houses in Jamestown had a very unique look to them. The roof would come to a point, the bottom is rectangular in shape. The roof was made out of shingles or hay (back in the day), and they were made out of wood or brick.
Can a roof have 4 planes?
Yes. A roof with 4 planes could be a hip roof - all four sides of a rectangle building have a slope as opposed to a gable which is sloped only to 2 sides, and therefore has 2 planes. It could also be a gambrel roof which is like a roof on a barn.
Why is a hipped roof called a hipped roof?
because it has like two conjoined roofs acting like one thus reflecting a hip like shape.
How do you get to the roof of the movie theater on back lot island?
The sides of the center roof of the theater are like flippers, and will bounce you up.
What objects look like a parallelogram?
A object that looks like an parallelogram is a earser , or even ahouse roof.
Definition of a hip and gable roof combination?
A hip roof has a slope on all four sides. A gable roof only has it on two sides. On the short sides of the house the side wall goes up to the point of the roof.
How do you figure the hip on a hip roof?
A hip roof, or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid. Hip roofs on rectangular houses will have two triangular sides and two trapezoidal ones. A hip roof on a rectangular plan has four faces.
