Calculation method and formula

Rectangle: Length / radius / base × Width / height; Circle: π × Length / radius / base²; Triangle: Length / radius / base × Width / height ÷ 2

Understand the inputs

Shape
Choose the matching option; it determines the table value or calculation variant.
Length / radius / base
Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Width / height
Use a measured value or your own assumption.

Assumptions and limitations

Use the same unit for every length. Area has squared units and volume cubed units. The perimeter triangle is equilateral; circle and sphere formulas use radius, not diameter.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
