Question 1159942: How many square feet of tarp is required to completely cover the roof of a 20×15 foot building? The roof has a single peak running along the 20 foot axis and the roof is at a 45 degree angle. Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the roof ends flush with the walls of the 20ft x 15ft building, you need enough to cover the slanted roof surfaces of ft each.
There are two such slanted surfaces, each 20ft long, so sq ft or sq ft, approximately 424.26 sq ft.
In reality, the answer depends on the depth of the eaves.
