That only works on that triangle because it happens to be a right triangle. I could draw right triangles inside the parallelograms, but there isn't a good way to determine the measurements of the two sides of triangle I just created. You could get close if you measured the lines on the paper as a known distance, then measured the new lines, but it still would not be correct due to the way the the diagram is rendered.
The 17x17 is not a right triangle (not quite) according to your measurements.
but you can turn it into two right triangles and get the ridge height.
Yeah, they usually aren't. To complicate things further, I changed at least two measurements on this diagram, just for consistency. One of the parallelograms has different sides of 17 and 17'2, which is how it actually measured.
Houses with build overs get all kinds of weird shapes and measurements.
The real lesson everyone should take away from this thread is that Eagle View is worth every penny!
I could see if a guy at work could toss it into agtek if it's important. I'd need a guesstimate of the height from valley to ridge. Otherwise, run it flat and add 20%.
That's math. I don't do that.
What's the adress? I'll eagle view it
It's not important at all. I just wanted to see what answers people got and how they got them.Quote:

How can we find the area when you haven't given even the slightest hint as to its location?
