Develop a Sequence for Problem Solving 1. Convert Measurements to Decimals: 1 foot 3” = 1.25 feet - - 0.5 = 6” etc. 2. Simplify Shapes to: Rectangles or Squares Right Triangles (one angle is 90 degrees) Any Shape where the Formula is Known 3. Carefully Evaluate the Known Information 4. Solve the Problem (Answer the Question) 5. Convert your answer to feet & inches OR decimals as the test question requires. 9
11
Make Calculations in Decimals Convert Inches to Feet by: inches / 12 = decimal feet Remember: Convert your answer to feet & inches OR decimals as the test question requires. 10 Convert Measurements to Decimals
12
Common Decimals Equivalence I inch = 0.083 3 inches = 0.25 4 inches = 0.33 6 inches = 0.50 8 inches = 0.67 9 inches = 0.75 11 Convert Measurements to Decimals
13
Example 4 ft 8 inches 8 inches = 1/12 = 0.67 Answer 4.67 feet 12 Convert Measurements to Decimal Feet
14
Example 6.25 feet 0.25 * 12 = 3 inches Answer 6 ft 3 inches 13 Convert Measurements to Feet/Inches
15
Your Turn- Conversions Convert to Decimal Feet: Convert to Feet/Inches One foot- two inches = 3. 33 = Seven inches = 1. 92 = One foot – five inches = 4. 67 = Two feet – nine inches = 6. 08 = Three feet – ten inches = 5. 50 = 14

Math Calculations Right Triangles Why Right Triangles – Calculate Length for Rafters 21
23
Right Triangle- Pythagorean Theorem 90 ° A C B 22
24
90 ° A C B A 2 + B 2 = C 2 23 (A 2 ) 3 X 3 = 9, (B 2 ) 4 X 4 = 16, (C 2 ) 9 + 16 = 25 C = √25 = 5 Right Triangle- Pythagorean Theorem
25
90 ° A C B A 2 + B 2 = C 2 Solve for: _____________________________ A = √ C 2 - B 2 _____________________________ B = √ C 2 - A 2 ______________________________ C = √ A 2 + B 2 Watch for change in Sign !!!! 24 Right Triangle- Pythagorean Theorem
26
B A 2 + B 2 = C 2 25 (A 2 ) 3 X 3 = 9 (B 2 ) 4 X 4 = 16 (C 2 ) 9 + 16 = 25 C = √25 = 5 90 ° A C Right Triangle- Pythagorean Theorem
27
90 ° 4’ 3” Raft Length ? 15’ 8” 26 Right Triangle- Sample Calculation
28
90 ° 4’ 3” Raft Length ? 15’ 8” 27 Right Triangle- Sample Calculation 3 inches = 3/12 ft = 0.25 ft 4’ 3” = 4.25 ft 8 inches = 8/12 ft = 0.67 ft 15’ 8’ = 15.67 ft
29
90 ° 4’ 3” Raft Length ? 15’ 8” 28 Right Triangle- Sample Calculation A 2 = 4.25 x 4.25 = 18.06 B 2 = 15.67 x 15.67 = 245.55 C 2 = 18.06 + 245.55 = 263.61 C = S 263.61 = 16.24 ft

Math Calculations Ratios Why Ratios – Using Roof Pitch in Calculations 29
31
Everyday Use of Ratio’s Your going to buy lawn fertilizer – Your lawn is 10,000 ft 2 – The fertilizer bag label is: – 1 bag per 2000 ft 2 How many bags do you buy? 30
32
Everyday Use of Ratio’s How many bags do you buy? If 1 bag covers 2,000 then 10,000/2,000 = 5 bags As a Ratio 1 bag = “X” bags Cross multiply 2,000 ft² 10,000 ft² 10,000 ft² x 1 bag = “X” bags x 2,000 ft² “X” bags = 1 bag * 10,000 ft² Divide 2,000 ft² X bags = 5 31
33
Everyday Use of Ratio’s Your going to make chili for 2 people – Recipe is of 4 people – The recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of hot pepper How much hot pepper do you put in? – The right amount not fire engine chili 32
34
Everyday Use of Ratio’s How much hot pepper do you put in? If 3 teaspoons is for 4 people then 1 ½ teaspoons is for 2 people As a Ratio 3 teaspoons = “X” teaspoons 4 people 2 people 2 people x 3 teaspoons = “X” teaspoons x 4 people X teaspoons = 3 teaspoons x 2 people 4 people X = 1.5 teaspoons or 1 ½ teaspoons 33
35
Units of Ratio’s They have to be the same on both sides of the = 1 bag = X bags 2,000 ft² 10,000 ft² 3 teaspoons = X teaspoons 4 people 2 people 34
36
Roof Pitch Roof slope express as a ratio – 4 : 12 – 6 : 12 – 12 : 12 Drawn on a Plan as – In ratio form = _4_ 12 12 4 35

Visualizing Slope Z 12 6 6 36
38
Calculating Rise or Run Slope = 4 : 12 or Rise : Run On Blueprints, Slope = “X” : 12 ”x” = Rise 12 Run 12 4 Rise Z Run 12 X 37
39
Roof Terms Z 12 6 6 Roof Run Roof Span Roof Span = 2 * Roof Run or Roof Run = Roof Span 2 Roof Rise (Pitch) Roof Run and Roof Span Roof Run is half of the Roof Span. 38 Roof Span is double the Roof Run.
40
Calculate Run Z 8 Rise 16 ft Run Example: Pitch 8 : 12 Ratio _8 _ = 16ft 12 Run Cross Multiply & Divide Run x 8 = 16 x 12 Run = 16 x 12 = 24 ft 8 12 8 What is the Span ? Hint: Run is ½ Span 2 x 24 = 48 ft 8 39
41
Calculate Rise Example: Pitch 4:12 (Ratio) _4_ = Rise 12 10ft Cross multiply & Divide 4 x 10 = Rise x 12 Rise = 10 * 4 = 3.33 ft 12 Convert to feet – inches 3 ft – 4” Rise Run 10ft 12 4 40
42
Calculate Pitch Z Rise 15 ft Run 18ft Example: Pitch “X” : 12 Ratio “X” = 15ft 12 18ft Cross Multiply & Divide “X” x 18 = 15 x 12 “X” = 12 x 15 = 10 18 Pitch 10 : 12 12 “X” 41

Working with a Circular Shape 81
83
Circumference (c)= Distance around the outside edge of the circle 82 Circles
84
Diameter = Distance across a circle (D) If you divide the distance around the circle (circumference – c ) by the diameter the answer will ALWAYS be = 3.14 It is a constant called “pie” = 3.14 D 83 Diameter of a Circle
85
Radius = Distance from the center of a circle to the edge (r) r “r” = ½ diameter 84 Radius of a Circle
86
The area of a circle is equal to times the radius (r) squared. r a = r² Remember “ ” is a constant = 3.14. The length of “r” is one half of the diameter (the distance across the circle.) Take “r” and multiply it by itself to get r². Now multiply times the product of r² to get the area (a) of the circle. ” 85 Area of a Circle
87
Area of a Circle (ft 2 ) a = D 2 4 = 3.14 * Diameter * Diameter 4 or a = r 2 = 3.14 * radius * radius Diameter radius. 86
88
Volume of a Cylinder (ft 3 ) v = D 2 * h 4 = 3.14 * Diameter * Diameter * height 4 or v = r 2 * L = 3.14 * radius * radius * height 87 h = height of the cylinder
89
Area of a Semi-Circle (ft 2 ) a = r 2 2 = 3.14 x radius x radius 2 Or a = D 8 = 3.14 *Diameter * Diameter 8 Diameter radius Area (a)= “pie” times the length of the radius squared divided by 2 2 88
90
Volume of 1/2 a Cylinder (ft 3 ) h = height of the cylinder 89 Volume = r 2 x h 2 = 3.14 x radius x radius x height 2 or using diameter (D) Volume = D 2 x h 8 = 3.14 x Diameter x Diameter x height 8
