Instead of cutting a block, measure the hap 4.5 inches down from top of ridge then from that mark measure to wall plate end. You can then measure rafter along top edge.

Those cheek cuts are wrong on the hip. You marked 45 degrees which they are not, only in plan.

well you can do all this using trigonometry and maths without this dance and gymnastic - greetings from Poland

Sorry to be a spoil sport but the 45 degree back cut on the hip rafter is wrong the back cut angle varies with the pitch of the roof. It is 45 degrees on plan but not when you mark it out on the rafter. That’s why the back cut on the hip rafters has gaps and doesn’t fit tight against the common rafters at the top.

Your point is correct. However, as he cut the hip top plumb cuts with his mitre saw set over at 45 degrees, the cuts were actually right. Had the top cuts been made with a hand saw following his marks, then, yes, they would have gaps against the common and end rafter.
