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.

My home is 1100 square feet what is the roof's square footage?

You cannot calculate the square footage of a house roof like this (unless you have a flat roof).
