Question:
A roofing square is a common term in construction equal to 100square feet. A gable is a type of roof containing sloping planes ofthe same pitch on each side of the ridge or? peak, where the upperportion of the sidewall forms a triangle. Answer question parts 1through 3 about? Rick's roofing project.
Rick finished measuring the gable roof for a project. Each ofthe two sides of a roof measures 40 feet ?(ft) x 25 feet? (ft),where the longer side is parallel to the peak of the roof. How manysquares ft2 would this be in? total? How many roofing squares wouldthis? equal?
The roof is _ ft2?, or equal to _ roofing squares.
For each roofing? square, Rick needs 6 bundles of? 40-yearcomposition? shingles, which can be bought for
$12 per bundle. Rick also uses? 15-pound (lb) roofing felt as abase under the? shingles, each roll costing
$7 and covering 2 squares. How many bundles of shingles willRick need for the roof in part? 1? How many rolls of roofing? felt?What are the costs for? each?
He will need _ bundles of shingles at a cost of $_
He will need _ rolls of felt at a cost of $_
To finish the? job, Rick needs roofing nails and drip edge. A?four-pound box of? one-inch roofing nails will cover 5 squares andcost $4. Drip edge comes only in? 10-foot lengths, costs $4 per?length, and is attached only to the outer edges of the roof. Howmany pounds of? one-inch nails will the job? require, and what isthe? cost? How many? 10-foot lengths of drip edge will finish the?job, and at what? cost? Finally, what is the total materials costof the entire roofing? project? Note that? drip-edge may be? cut,if? necessary, to cover the outer edges of the roof.
He will need _ pounds of nails at a cost of $_
He will need _ lengths of drip-edge at a cost of $_
The total cost of the roofing project is $_
