Remember the Pythagorean theorem? A squared plus B squared equals C squared? Now imagine the slope of a roof, and you're trying to determine the length of your rafter. You know the rise (A) and the run (B), so now calculate the length (C). Stairs are much the same. And this just gets you started. A really good framer will also know trig.

Construction workers use multiple facets of algebra in their work. Construction workers have to know the dimensions of the pieces they work with, and make sure they use just the right amount, which requires adding and subtracting lengths of material. They also have to use math to work with their budget, like most people do.
