what size of a circuit breaker can be installed on a line with 7 outlets 14 AWG
wire?
15 amp; according to code, the conductor ampacity rating for a 14 gauge wire is 15
amps. for 12 gauges wire is 20 amps. the number of outlets does not determine the size
of circuit breaker.
how many roof squares are in the roof measuring 45' by 50'?
22.5; (45x50) / 100 (roofing squares made of 10'x10').
total drop for a 120' pipe with a 2% slope?
2'5" = 120x2%=2.4
how many 4"x4" tiles do you need to tile 30"x60" shower floor and three walls 60"
high with 1/4" grout? allow 10% for waste.
step 1: calculate total area: shower pan: 30"x60" = 1800 square inches. two small walls
2 @( 30"x60")= 3600 square inches. back wall= 60"x60"=3600
total= 9000 square inches.
step 2: calculate tile coverage including grout. 4 1/4" x4 1/4" = 18.0625
step 3: divide 9000/18.0625 = 499 tiles
step 4: add 10%
499x.10= 50 tiles

the load area of skylight is equal to
inside dimension of a deck mounted skylight; inside area of the skylight curb; rough
opening in the roof.
how many kWh will be consumed by a 500w lightbulb running for 3 hours?
1.5 kWh. step one solve for total watt-hours= 500w x 3=1500
step 2 convert: 1 kilowatt= 1000 watt
1500/1000=1.5
how many board feet do you need for a wall 20' long with 2x4 studs 8 feet high
spaced at 16 o.c.?
Step 1: convert wall length and stud height into inches, by multiplying length by 12.
wall: 20'x12=240"
stud: 8'x12=96"
step 2: divide wall length by the spacing of the studs
240"/16"= 15 studs + 1 starter= 16 studs total
step 3: figure out board feet
board feet= thickness in inches x width in inches x length in inches / 144.
2"x4"x96"/144=5.33 board feet per stud.
step 4: multiply board feet by number of studs
5.33x16=85.28 board feet.

, calculate the total cost of trusses needed for a new framing project, where a
gable roof is 50' long, each truss is spaced every 24" and the price of each truss
is $80.

the inverter requires minimum voltage unput of 350 volts, how many 48-volt
modules need to be connected in a seires configuration to meet the minimum
voltage input?
in a series configuration, the sum of voltage all all individual moduels will equal to the
total voltage output. divide voltage requirement by the voltage that is generated by each
module. 350/48=7.29

need to buy?
2800; 100 square feet in each construction square.
a 1/6 roof pitch is equal to a ___ slope?
4/12; the pitch is the sum of the rise divided by the span. the slope is the sum of the rise
divided by the run
the roof pitch is 6/24, what is the rise given that the run is 17 feet?
8.5; step 1 find the span 17x2; find the actual pitch 6/24=x/34
