Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between area and perimeter?

Area measures the space inside a 2D shape (in square units). Perimeter measures the distance around the outside edge (in linear units).

How do I calculate the area of irregular shapes?

For irregular shapes, break them into regular shapes (rectangles, triangles), calculate each area separately, then add them together.

What units should I use?

You can use any units, but make sure all measurements in a problem use the same units. The calculator will apply formulas correctly regardless of units.

Why is π (pi) used in circles and spheres?

π (approximately 3.14159) is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It appears in all formulas involving circular shapes.
