Question 1119040: You decide to get rid of the old ceramic tile roof and replace it with a colourbond steel roof.
For ease, assume the roof is a single pitch A-frame with the ridge along the long axis of the house.
The rectangular roof covers the whole house including the rear deck
but not the front balcony.
Allow a horizontal 800mm of overhang from all outer walls for the eaves
colourbond sheets are 750 wide and can be cut to any length
ignore any overlap between sheets and calculate
a) The length (x) of each sheet
b) How many sheets you need

Need more info: length and width of each side of the roof, or area of the roof plus length (for the area of the overhang). Also, the colorbond sheets are 750 wide... 750 what? Centimeters? And what else are you not telling us? Please provide all the necessary information.
