- Dormer Shed Roof Rafter Length
- Dormer Shed Roof Miter Angle (Rake Cut Angle)
- Dormer Shed Roof Sleeper Bevel Length
- Dormer Shed Roof Intercept Run ( Intersection of Dormer Roof and Main Roof)
- Main Roof Intercept Length (Useful for laying out Dormer Sleeper that is not Beveled)
Using the Law of Sines
c = ( a * sin( C ) ) ÷ sin( A)
c = Dormer Roof Rafter Length
C1 = 90° - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle
C2 = 90° - (Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle)
C = 90° - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle + (90° - (Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle))
C = C1 + C2
A = Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle
a = Dormer Roof Run
Dormer Roof Rafter Length = (Dormer Roof Run * sin(90° - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle + (90° - (Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle)))) ÷ sin(Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle )
or
Dormer Roof Rafter Length = (Dormer Roof Run * sin(C)) ÷ sin(A)
or
Dormer Altitude = sin(Dormer Roof Pitch Angle) * Dormer Run
Dormer Altitude Run = Dormer Altitude ÷ tan(Dormer Roof Pitch Angle)
Dormer Miter Cut Angle = Main Roof Pitch Angle - Dormer Roof Pitch Angle
Main Altitude Run = Dormer Altitude ÷ tan(Dormer Miter Cut Angle)
Dormer Rafter Length = Dormer Altitude Run + Main Altitude Run
Main Intercept Run = (Dormer Rafter Length * cos( Dormer Roof Pitch Angle)) - Dormer Run
