Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for the area of a circle?
Area = π × r². The circumference (perimeter) is 2 × π × r. Use π ≈ 3.14159.
How do I find the area of a triangle?
Area = ½ × base × height. The height must be perpendicular to the base. If you know all three sides instead, use Heron's formula: s = (a+b+c)/2, then Area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)).
What is the difference between area and perimeter?
Area measures the surface inside a shape (in square units: cm², m², ft²). Perimeter measures the total length of the boundary (in linear units: cm, m, ft).
How do I calculate the area of an irregular shape?
Break it into simpler shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles), calculate each area separately, then add them together. This is the basis of numerical integration.
