Analysis & guidance
  • Method

    Calculate area for rectangles, circles and triangles, or volume for boxes, cylinders and spheres. Enter all dimensions in metres. Results use m², m³ or metres for perimeter.

  • Example

    A 3 × 4 m rectangle has an area of 12 m² and perimeter of 14 m. A 3 × 4 × 5 m box has a volume of 60 m³. A cylinder with radius 2 m and height 3 m has volume 12π ≈ 37.70 m³.

  • Limitations

    Area: rectangle l×w, circle πr², triangle base×perpendicular height/2. Volume: box l×w×h, cylinder πr²h, sphere 4πr³/3. Circle circumference is 2πr. Material allowances and structural strength are excluded. Triangle perimeter cannot be determined from base and height alone.

Geometry: area and volume

Method

Calculate area for rectangles, circles and triangles, or volume for boxes, cylinders and spheres. Enter all dimensions in metres. Results use m², m³ or metres for perimeter.

Example

A 3 × 4 m rectangle has an area of 12 m² and perimeter of 14 m. A 3 × 4 × 5 m box has a volume of 60 m³. A cylinder with radius 2 m and height 3 m has volume 12π ≈ 37.70 m³.

Limitations

Area: rectangle l×w, circle πr², triangle base×perpendicular height/2. Volume: box l×w×h, cylinder πr²h, sphere 4πr³/3. Circle circumference is 2πr. Material allowances and structural strength are excluded. Triangle perimeter cannot be determined from base and height alone. Recalculate when your circumstances change.
