    This is simple.
    Add up total length on one side multiply by total width of the other side. Don't remove those upper right and bottom left corners. Then find the store that will refund unused bundles of shingles. You will probably have enough to account for slope by not removing those two corners.
    Boom done...

    I did the same thing since he asked for the area of a 2 dimensional shape or 1,256.63 sq. ft.

    You need to know an angle.
