A flat roof rises at a 25° angle

from the front wall of a storage

shed to the back wall. The front

wall is 11. 5 feet tall and the back

wall is 18. 5 feet tall. Find the

length of the roofline and the

depth of the shed from front to

back. Round your answers to the

nearest tenth of a foot.

The length of the roof line is equal to 17.4 feet and the depth of the shed is 15.07 feet.

Given the following data:

  • Height of front wall = 11.5 feet.
  • Height of back wall = 20.2 feet.
  • Angle of inclination = 25°

How to calculate the length of the roofline.

First of all, we would assign a variable to the length of the roof line and depth of the shed from front to back respectively.

Let the length of the roof line be h.

Let the depth of the shed be d.

From the image attached, we would determine the length of the opposite side as follows:

[tex]Opp=20.2 -11.5[/tex]

Opposite side = 8.7 feet.

Next, we would determine the length of the roof line by using Sine trigonometric:

[tex]Sin \theta = \frac{Opp}{Hyp} \\\\Sin30 =\frac{8.7}{h} \\\\0.5=\frac{8.7}{h}\\\\h=\frac{8.7}{0.5}[/tex]

h = 17.4 feet.

For the depth;

We would determine the length of the roof line by using Tan trigonometric:

[tex]Tan \theta =\frac{Opp}{Adj} \\\\Tan 30 =\frac{8.7}{d} \\\\0.5774=\frac{8.7}{d}\\\\d=\frac{8.7}{0.5774}[/tex]

d = 15.07 feet.
