How do you work out the square meters of a roof?
If the rooftop is flat and shaped like a rectangle ...-- measure the width of the roof, in meters-- measure the length of the roof, in meters-- multiply (width) x (length)-- The product is the area of the roof in square meters.If the rooftop is not shaped like a rectangle, or parts of it are sloped, thenyou must mark it off in several sections, with each section being a rectangle.Then measure and calculate the area of each section as described above, andadd them up.

My home is 1100 square feet what is the roof's square footage?
You cannot calculate the square footage of a house roof like this (unless you have a flat roof). The simplest way would be to go up on your roof and measure its different surfaces, however if you dont want to do that, you would need to know several differen things to calculate the surface area -- such as the pitch and angel -- how much hangover you have. Basically you should save yourself time and go up on your roof and measure it

How do you calculate the square footage of a cottage style roof?
I'm assuming by "cottage style roof" you mean the shape which is sort-of achieved by using two trapezium shapes to depict the front and back of the roof (shorter edge being the uppermost edge) and then using two triangles for both the sides. (A trapezium shape is like half a hexagon). If this is the case, you calculate the area of the front of the roof by measuring the lower edge of the trapezium/roof and adding that measurement to the upper edge of the trapezium/roof, dividing by two, then multiplying by the distance between the upper and lower edge. (I.e exactly the same as finding the area of a trapezium). Assuming the back of the roof is the same, multiply the "front of the roof" measurement by 2. This gives you the area of "front and back of roof". To include the sides of the roof, measure the lower edge of the triangle-like shape and multiply by the vertical height. Add this measurement to the "front and back of roof measurement" to get "total area of roof". If you have kept all measurements in feet during the process, you will end up with "total area of roof in square feet" as required. Of course, it's possible that the roof may not fit the description of specific shapes, in which case it's best to make an estimate then add on a bit extra.
