Brian, The increases are COMPOUNDED in that you take 1500 sq.ft. x 1.30 (increase 30%) to 1950 sq.ft. then multiply the result by another 30% (1950 x 1.30) to get to 2535 sq.ft. Since both the slope and the dry system can cause delays in the discharge of water from the sprinklers over the fire area, you must compound the multipliers.
