Rafter Length formula
![\[Rafter\ Length\ using\ Angle = V + \frac{R}{2\cos(A)}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-03f28e08f03542c5a0cddf86c800156c_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
![\[Rafter\ Length\ using\ Pitch = V + \frac{R}{2}\sqrt{1+P^2}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-6063dab113fafdeddf5b937caea3295c_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
The variables used in the formula are:
V = Overhang
R = Roof Span
P = Pitch
