The pitch of a roof is 20 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :- height and base of a roof are 12 feet and 16 feet
To Find :- pitch of a roof
Solution :- Let the pitch of roof be x feet
Now, by using pythagoras theorem
h² = b² + p²
(x)² = (16)² + (12)²
x² = 256 + 144
x² = 400
x = √400
x = 20
so, x = 20 feet
Hence , the pitch of a roof is 20 feet
