Question poised to me by contractor. What pitch is your roof My answer was that it rises at a 25 degree angle. What is the pitch in his terms?

If I remember right it should be between a 5 and 6 pitch. Between a 5/12 pitch and 6/12 pitch. If it was 27.5 degrees it would be a 6/12 pitch. Enter in "roof pitch" in the Google bar and several sites will come up where you can calculate pitch. The 12 means 12 inches. So that it would be aproximitely 6 inches rise to 12 inches of run. Hope this helps and I hope I remember my roof pitch angles. It has been a few years since I have done it.


How do you calculate roof pitch?

Place a four foot long level on the roof, parallel with the ground. With one end touching the roof and the other end in the air, read the bubble on the level. When the bubble says it is level, then have a second person measure the distance from the end hanging in the air straight down to the roof. Divide the number by 4. (example: with level bubble showing "level"; your helper reads 24 inches on the tape measure-- you divide 24 by 4 = 6" Your roof pitch is 6 /12, or 6 in 12." Every 12 inches of level travel your roof goes up 6 inches.


Roof 50 foot by 100 foot with a 412 pitch what is the formula?

a 100 foot run with a 50 foot rise would give you a 6/12 pitch


How do you figure roof square footage for a 6 12 pitch 10ft long by 12 ft wide porch addition to a 6 12 pitch roof?

If you do not have access to a roof framing book, I would use a tape and measure it. Length x width = square footage. My book says you should come up with : 11.33 x 12 = 135.96 sq ft

What is the is a 612 roof?

This represents the pitch of the roof. Referred to as 6/12 pitch. This means that if you measured horizontally for 12 inched it will go up 6 inches.

How much fall in a 2 degree roof over 6 meter?

To calculate the fall of a 2-degree roof over a distance of 6 meters, you can use the formula: fall = distance × tan(angle). The tangent of 2 degrees is approximately 0.0349. Therefore, the fall over 6 meters would be 6 × 0.0349, which is about 0.2094 meters, or approximately 21 centimeters.

What is the pitch of a 6 foot drop in a 24 foot run?

"pitch" can be measured in degree or percent drop. So, if you drop 6' vertically over 24', you would the pitch, or slope, would be 25%. Expressed in degrees, given that 90 degrees is vertical, it would be 25% of 90, or 22.5 degrees of slope.


How much fall in a 5 degree roof over 6 metres?

To calculate the fall over a 5-degree roof pitch over a 6-meter span, you can use the tangent of the angle. The height (fall) is equal to the length multiplied by the tangent of the angle: ( \text{Fall} = 6 , \text{m} \times \tan(5^\circ) ). This results in approximately 0.52 meters, or 52 centimeters of fall over the 6-meter length.

How many degrees does the hour hand move in 6 hours?

The hour hand of a clock completes one full revolution, or 360 degrees, in 12 hours. Therefore, in 6 hours, it moves half of that distance. To calculate this, you can divide 360 degrees by 12 hours to get 30 degrees per hour, and then multiply by 6 hours. Thus, the hour hand moves 180 degrees in 6 hours.
