What math do roofers use?

In particular, roofers have to use geometry to determine the length and angle at which to cut beams. They have to do this with a formula that takes into account the roof elevation (the vertical height) and the route (the horizontal length). The primary measure until used in the roofing industry is a “square”. Just as property is measured in acres, roofs are measured in squares.
