Working out the areas for a hipped roof

[lutonlagerlout]

hi fellas
I have to prices to replace the tiles felt and batten on a hipped roof
the house is 6 m wide and 7.3m deep
I have an inkling its around 60m2
but is there a way I can work out exactly how many ridge/tiles battens etc?
thanks in advance

Need to know the angle of the hip roof or 2 of the dimensions of the triangle forming the hipped roof.

Then the formula or method you use depends on what type of triangle it is right angle, equilateral or isoceles etc

make a guess at gable height? i guessed at 4m which makes 73m2 having never seen the house

its a hipped roof
image of roof
so the calc doesnt work right
I was thinking more like 75m but its the number of ridge for the hips that is escaping me

I know its around £5k +VAT for new tiles etc but I like to get it accurate IYKWIM

You sure you have those measurements right?

Using this it has the dimensions as ~ 12.5m X 15m

without the pitch bit hard
but if looking at the google street view it maybe 45.0
rough lengths would be
rafter 5.160
so hip length would be 6.4m
ridge 2.350
front gable ridge looks similar

dont know if this helps
