The formula to calculate the roof tarp size is:
\[ \text{RTS} = \text{RA} \times 1.5 \]
Where:
Roof tarp size refers to the total area of the tarp needed to cover a roof. It is calculated by multiplying the roof area by a factor of 1.5 to ensure adequate coverage, accounting for overlaps and securing the tarp. This calculation is useful for homeowners and contractors to determine the appropriate tarp size for temporary roof protection.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the roof tarp size:
\[ \text{RTS} = 1000 \times 1.5 = 1500 \text{ ft²} \]
This means that the roof tarp size for this scenario is 1500 ft².
