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

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.
