A roof that measures 100' x 100' will have how many roofing squares?

To determine the number of roofing squares for a roof that measures 100' x 100', you first need to understand what a "roofing square" is. One roofing square is defined as an area of 100 square feet.

To calculate the total area of the roof, you would multiply the length by the width. In this case, the calculation is 100 feet by 100 feet, which equals 10,000 square feet.

Next, to find out how many roofing squares this area represents, you divide the total square footage by the size of one roofing square. Taking the total area of 10,000 square feet and dividing it by 100 square feet per square results in 100 roofing squares.

This aligns perfectly with the definitions and calculations for roofing materials, which are typically sold by the square, allowing contractors to accurately estimate their needs for roofing projects.
