The concentration of creatinine is a better indicator of renal. function than urea or uric acid because it is not affected by diet, exercise, or hormones. The creatinine level has been used in combination with BUN to differentiate between. prerenal and renal causes of an elevated urea/BUN.
Roof surfaces are measured in squares.. A square is an area of roof which measures 100 square feet. To determine the number of squares on the gable roof above, simply divide its total of 24,000 square feet by 100. The result is 240, and this means you would need 240 squares of shingles to cover that roof.
Determining Roof Pitch. The angle, or pitch, of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally. For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a 6-in-12 pitch. Knowing the pitch of your roof is useful when designing an addition, installing skylights, or cutting new rake boards. Here's an easy, safe way to determine the pitch from inside your attic.
