There is no need for this complexity in calculating the area – it is simply 60x10x2 = 1200 20x10x2 = 400 10x5x2 = 100 6x5x0.5×8 = 120 Total 1820 It is hard to believe that home inspectors would need training on such a basic estimation.
The calculation is not A1, A2 and A3 is not as complex as described. It is simply 60x10x2, 20x10x2 and 5x10x2 or 2100 total. No need to add and subtract the common triangles.

That was very helpful, Thank you
You also don't mention starter shingles and roof caps so whoever uses this as a home owner to attempt to do his roof will be short.
very straightforward and professionally done. Bravo ! kiss
MY HEAD HURTS
Don we consider the roof angle when measuring roof.. 45 deg, 30 deg.. like that.
Just one thing didn't mention adding wast percentage for different roofs different percentages
when it comes to the roof measurements what is the most efficient way of measuring the length, width, and or height of each side of those shapes?

You make it very easy 🙂
Very help full. Thanks for sharing your power.
Why couldnt you measure the A1 and measure A3 as LxW and not subtract two triangles per gable?
