Frequently Asked Questions

There are several ways to calculate a triangle's area: 1) Using base and height: Area = ½ × base × height, 2) Using three sides (Heron's formula): Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) where s = (a+b+c)/2, 3) Using two sides and included angle: Area = ½ × a × b × sin(C).

Area measures the space inside a 2D shape (measured in square units like m²), while perimeter measures the distance around the outside edge of a shape (measured in linear units like m). For example, a square with 4m sides has a perimeter of 16m and an area of 16m².

Volume is the amount of space inside a 3D object. The formula depends on the shape: Cube: V = s³, Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³, Cylinder: V = πr²h, Rectangular Prism: V = l×w×h. Volume is measured in cubic units (e.g., m³).

Surface area is the total area of all faces of a 3D object. To calculate it, find the area of each face and add them together. For example, a cube has 6 equal square faces, so its surface area is 6s² where s is the length of an edge.
