Question: A carpenter is installing an aluminum soffit and fascia system. The eave width is 450 mm. The installed fascia board measures 150 mm in depth. The soffit panel has a working width of 380 mm. What length of aluminum fascia will be needed to cover a 10-meter long eave (assuming no waste for cut ends)?

Answer options:

  • 10.0 linear metres ✅ 10.0 metres of 150 mm fascia stock
  • 10.0 metres of 450 mm fascia stock
  • 10.0 metres of 380 mm soffit stock

Correct answer: 10.0 metres of 150 mm fascia stock

Explanation: Fascia is measured by its linear length and its depth. The question asks for the length of aluminum fascia needed for a 10-meter long eave, and specifies the installed fascia depth is 150 mm. Therefore, 10.0 metres of 150 mm fascia stock are required. The eave width and soffit panel width are distractors for fascia calculation.
