The volume of an attic 2013-09-18
From David:
I have small equipment hut that has a small attic space that I want to blow insulation into it.
The attic size is shaped like a triangle that is about 8 feet by 10 feet by 7 inches at the highest point.
I need to estimate the volume in square feet or cubic feet to know how many bags of insulation to blow into the space.
Thanks

Insulation in an attic 2008-11-18
From Scott:
A homeowner wishes to insulate her attic with fiberglass insulation to conserve energy. The insulation comes in 40-cm-wide rolls that are cut to fit between the rafters in the attic. If the roof is 6 m from peak to eave and the attic space is 2 m high at the peak, how long does each of the pieces of insulation need to be? Round to the nearest tenth.
