Question 74138: For the home described in exercise 15, (A homeowner wishes to insulate her attic with fiber glass insulations to conserve energy. The insulation comes in 40-cm wide rolls that are cut to fit between 2 m high at the peak).if the roof is 7 m from the peak to the attic space is 3 m high at the peak, how long does each of the pieces of insulation need to be? Round to the nearest tenth.
I am needing some assistance with this problem, I am confused with this and not sure how to go about solving. Thanks

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.
