Calculating Measurement

Triangle

Perimeter = A + B + C

Area = B x H

2

Volume = B x W x H

2

To find the length of one side of a right angle triangle:

C2 = A2 + B2 where C is the longest side

Square / Rectangle / ParallelogramPerimeter = 2L + 2W

Area = L x W

Surface Area (of solid) = 2 (LW + LH + WH)

Volume = L x W x H

Ellipse
Area = d1 x d2 x .7854

Cylinder
Surface Area = 2 p r (r + H)Volume = p r2 H

Circle
Perimeter / Circumference = 2 p r
Area =
p r2
Volume = p r3
p
is equal to 3.1416

the radius (r) is equal to half the diameter (d)
