Which of the following is the type of roof which slopes in two directions with a break in the slope on each
side?
-
A.
Gambrel roof
-
B.
Mansard roof
-
C.
Hip roof
-
D.
Gable roof
Correct Answer:
A. Gambrel roof
Explanation:
A gambrel roof is characterized by having two slopes on each side of the ridge. The upper slope is positioned at a shallower angle, while the lower slope is much steeper. This design creates a "break" in the roofline, effectively increasing the usable space within the upper floor or attic of a building. While a mansard roof also features a break in the slope, it differs by having slopes on all four sides of the structure, whereas a gambrel roof only has them on two.
