Calculate length of tarp needed to extend 12 linear feet (at 0 degrees), but sloping at 25 degrees instead

Asked by ScottPletcher in Math & Science Questions

I need to cover an area with a tarp, but sloping downward to allow rain to run off.

The area to be covered is 12 feet long (ground/linear measurement).

The tarp will start 9 feet above the ground and slope downward at roughly a 25 degree angle.

How much length of tarp will I need to cover the 12 linear feet after adjusting for the slope?

|*tarp starts here, 9 feet up
|**angled down at ~25 degrees

|__________________________________12 feet of concrete, end of area to be covered

Would be great if you could include the formula too :-) .Start Free Trial
