If it was anything like a standard roof, (and now understanding how you got the measurements in your sketch) I'd guesstimate 1338 sqft.

The roof pitch is 5/12. How will you use that information to better solve the problem?

That is the most complicated way I've ever seen to derive the area of a triangle...Originally Posted by Irving

Okay, now my guesstimate is 1320 sqft.

When you say simple trig, would you say it's simple enough to do with a cell phone calculator, while standing on a roof? I'm not being sarcastic, that's an honest question.

Show me how you're getting the area of the very top triangle with sides of 17, 17, 23.41.

I'm on my iPad and can't do real math, but it should be...
hold the phone.... I can't trig on an iPad...

Oh hell... Without knowing at least one more angle measurement, I don't think I can do it.

Dammit. Math is telling me that your measurements don't add up.
