Another dimension is needed to work out the surface area of the roof.
Dimension is : W * D* L IN MTR AREA SQ.MTR= (W+D) * 2 * L
the area of a 2D shape with dimensions 8cm and 12cm is 96cm2, but if you're talking about surface area of a 3D shape then you need the other dimension.

Increase the magnitude of one dimension while reducing the other two. In other words, make the shape thin and flat but very long.For example, a 4*4*4 cube has a volume of 64 cubic units and a surface area of 96 square units.A 1*1*64 cuboid, on the other hand, has the same volume but its surface area is 258 square units.Similarly, starting from a sphere, the volume can be maintained but the surface area increased by making it a very thin, flat but long ellipsoid.In mathematical terms there is no limit to how thin or flat, nor how long the shape can be and so there is no limit to the surface area. In real life, of course, no dimension can be made smaller than a molecule and even that is doubtful.Increase the magnitude of one dimension while reducing the other two.
