How to calculate areas of basic shapes for your projects.
Area of a Circle: Area = π r² (pi x radius squared)
- π = 3.141
r = 10’Formula = 3.141 x 10 x 10
Area = 314.1 sq. ft.
Area of a Square or Rectangle: Area = Length x Width
- Length = 20′
Width = 10′
Formula = 10′ x 20′
Area = 200 sq. ft
Area of a Right Triangle: Area = 1/2 (base x height)
- Base = 10′
Height = 10″
Formula = 1/2 x (10 x 10)
Area = 50 sq. ft.
