Need too find the square yard of my house so as to be able to purchase enough shingles to do the job house is 48 feet long 49 feet wide and from peak to bottom edge 14 feet. how do I find the square yard
Re: Need too find the square yard of my house so as to be...
Your home is 48' long x 49' wide and 14' from the peak of the roof to the edge of the roof. If you have a gable or hip roof then you will need 82 bundles of shingles. If you install felt under the shingles you will need 7 rolls of 15 lbs. felt or 14 rolls of 30 lbs. felt.

Good to see you back. You still haven't fixed that old roof yet!
You take 36 x 32 and that gives you 1,152 square feet of area. Then you put it into a roofing calculator website and you get this.
To have 10% buffer would require 13 roof squares.
By United States standard, the roof will need: 35 bundles of composition shingles (each bundle will cover ~33 ft2) 12 rolls of roll roofing (~36 in × 36 ft for each roll) 3 rolls of #15 felt (~36 in × 144 ft for each roll) 6 rolls of #30 felt (~36 in × 72 ft for each roll)
Roofing ceramic tiles do not have a standard size. Consult contractors to determine the amount needed.
So you need 35 bundles, but you could probably get away with 32 if it is a nice rectangle.
I helped you before as Andrew Taylor, I changed my name.
There are 4840 square yards in an acre and 9 square feet in a square yard (4840 x 9 = 43,560).
An acre is an old timers measurement used in agriculture...
it was 4 poles wide and 40 poles long. A pole is equivalent to sixteen and a half feet. So back then, an acre was a piece of farming land 660 feet long (220 yards or one eighth of a mile) and 66 feet wide (22 yards or one eightieth of a mile).
Acre is a measure of area, which would be square feet.
Feet are a measure of distance.
The best you could do is something like this:
An acre is 43, 560 square feet.
Draw/imagine a square or a rectangle that would cover that much area.
If it is a square, it would be (approximately) 208.7 feet on each side.
Its perimeter (the distance around it if you walk an imaginary fence around you acre-sized plot) would be 834.8 feet.
Trying to to figure out an acre of 'Circle' - hmmmmm???
Radius = 1/2 of Diameter
sorry, just can't wrap my head around this to come up with the correct equation.
maybe we can get lucky with some other brainiac taking what I did provide and come up with a solution for you?
Square - It would be 208.7 feet across if you walk across it, and the same if you walk the other way across it.
Ash fault? I think you mean "asphalt" but that's OK. You haven't given enough information to solve the problem, but here's what you need to do.
You know the area of the roof is 300 square feet (sq ft). You should know the area of each asphalt shingle, although that's the information you didn't give. When you know that figure, the calculation is very simple:
number of shingles needed = area of roof / area of one shingle
I don't know if this is a class problem, or if you really have a roofing job. Don't forget that on a real roof, the shingles overlap. If you do the calculation, the number you get is right only if you lay the shingles edge-to-edge. A real-world roof would need probably twice that number. Shingles come packed in bundles, and they usually tell you the area they cover. (By the way, 100 square feet is termed a "square".)
