Answer 1

well I'm pretty sure you're gonna need to know what size the shingles are that you are using! A measuring tape would prove useful - And then do the math....

Answer 2

You need four and a half square of shingles plus felt, starter, ridge, and allowance for waste/cuts it depends on the shape of the roof.  note: A square is a roofing measurement that equals a 10 by 10 foot area or 100 sq ft. Depending on the roofing material it could be three, four or five bundels or packages of shingles to cover one square. Check a roofing supply, or home depot for cost.
