Multiply the length by the width of one side of a gabled roof and then multiply by the slope (pythagorean theorm; e.g. 9 squared + 12 squared = 15 squared) and double it (two sides to a roof). This suare footage will give you the amount to divide by a bundle of shingles which covers 32 sq. ft.
most of the time, if it is a three tab, 20yr shingle it takes 3 bundles, some thirty year shingles take 4 bundles, and most if not all 40yr and above take 4-5, because they are thicker, and there are less shingles per bundle.. hope this helps..
