I think that you might have omitted some of the words form the problem description.
For example: "...are cut to fit between 2 m high the peak)" and "...if the roof is 7 m from the peak to the attic space is 3 m high at the peak,..."
I suggest you take another look at the problem description and re-post it in its entirety.
