Length of a common rafter - concept and terms

[@andy2a2m]

Thank you sir, this exactly explained why people always say that the bird's mouth must be 1/3 of the width of common rafters. I think of this question for a long long time. You finally gave me the answer

[@apprenticemath]

You are very welcome

[@jimmys511]

Can’t you obtain the length of the rafter by stepping the framing square holding the square on 12 for the run and 7 for the pitch and step it the amount of feet for the run of the building? Instead of figuring out math?

[@apprenticemath]

Stepping (bunny hopping) is really imprecise after 5 steps or hops, due to lining up start and finish points accurately repeatedly

I just need to know what time it is I don't need to know how the watch works

[@LogHewer]

Some folks enjoy knowing how the watch works when they check their time. 🤷

[@TurboMountTV]

Considering the gaps probably not the best explanation / technique.
