Does anyone know a simple way of calculating the length of a roof gable at eh the roofline?
The width of the gable is about 25' and the height is about 15'. |

You can use simple trig to figure this out! (A squared + B squared = C squared).
In your case it's:
15 squared + 12.5 (1/2 of 25) squared = gable length squared
gable length = the square root of (15 squared + 12.5 squared)
gable length at roof line= 19.525' |

That is a good formula for calculating the exact length of a roof gable. So the gable length squared is equal to the fifteen squared.
