14. Calculate the number of squares of 1” × 8” drop siding (to the nearest square) required for a hip roof structure that is 50' long and 20' wide with 10' high walls, fifteen 3' × 5' windows, one 8' × 7' garage door, and two 8' × 7' sliding doors (Assume a 16% waste allowance, hint: 1 square = 100 square feet) (Page 4.20, 21 - Section 5.1.0). Answer (2(50’ X 10’) + 2(20’X10’))-(15(3’X5’)+(8’X7’)+2(8’X7’)) then take 16% of that answer and add to it for waste allowance. Divide the answer by 100 square feet to equal the number of squares needed. Result: (1007 Sq. Ft. +161.12 Sq. Ft. waste allowance)/100Sq. Ft. = 11.6812 or 12 squares of siding.

Answer (2(50’ X 10’) + 2(20’X10’))-((8’X7’)+2(8’X7’)) take no waste allowance. Divide the answer by 100 square feet to equal the number of squares needed. Result: (1232 Sq. Ft.)/32 Sq Ft. per panel = 38.5 or 39 4’ X 8’ panels
