RULES FOR COMPUTING CIRCUMFERENCE, AREAS, AND VOLUMES
NOTE: Express all dimensions in terms of the same unit - for example, in terms of feet. A computed area will then be in terms of the square of the dimensional unit used - for example, square feet - and a computed volume will be in terms of the cube of the dimensional unit used - for example, cubic feet.
Circumference of circle: 3.1416 × diameter. Area of circle: 0.7854 × diameter × diameter. Area of rectangle: Length × width. Capacity of rectangular bin: Length × width × depth Volume of cylinder: 0.7854 × diameter × diameter ×height. Approximate capacity of container having sloping sides: Vertical height × one-half the sum of top areaand bottom area |
