RECTANGLES & SQUARES

•     Square Footage = multiply length x width (example 5’ x 10’ = 50 sq. ft.)

CIRCLES

•     Circumference of a Circle - multiply diameter x 3.1416 (example 10’ x 3.1416 = 31.42 feet)

•     Diameter of a Circle - multiply circumference x .31831 (example 31.42’ x .31831 = 10’)

•     Area of a Circle - multiply square of the diameter x .7854 (example 10’x10’x.7854 = 78.54 sq. ft.)

TRIANGLES

•     Area of a Triangle - multiply ½ of the base length x height (example .5 x 10’ x 20’ = 100 sq. ft.)
