"There are no finger prints under water."
Are you posting up your homework because you're too lazy to do it?

No, I already did it, but then I started to question whether I had enough information to do it correctly or not.

Also, without knowing the roof pitch, it's impossible to tell the sq footage of roof.

$4700 in roofing materials + labor . That doesn't include decking. Don't forget gutters & down spouts. Which will get trashed by the tear off crew. Throwing another $4200 in materials.

This is a roof with a slope, so you can't just turn this into two rectangles of 34'4 x 23'5 and 13'7 x 33'4.

It shouldn't matter since all the measurements were taken on the surface of each "shape." You're looking at the actual measurements, so I guess the eaves would be in scale with the ridges, and the hips in scale with the valleys. On this roof anyway, where everything is the same slope.Originally Posted by HoneyBadger

But if the roof were flat, the area would be 1001-ish sq units (sq ft... I assume) Take the bigger box (40'8"x 37') and subtract the two smaller boxes (23'5" x 6'4" and 7'6" x 13'7")

Exactly. Because it has slope, there is a third measurable dimension that the above "two rectangles" don't account for. Need to know the pitch(es) of the roof if you are looking for a surface area measurement.
Are you saying you measured from eve to ridge here? If so, and the pitch is consistent through out, then the rectangles method will work fine.
