Geometry: Calculators and Tools

Areas, volumes and the Pythagorean theorem with figures and examples.

Geometry is the math you can see. How much paint for a wall, how much water fits in a tank, how big a TV screen really is: all of it is geometry disguised as an everyday problem.

The calculators in this category cover the most common plane figures and solids, show the formula applied to your numbers and explain where each formula comes from. The idea is that after using them a few times, you can do the calculation in your head.

Where to start. If you are just starting out, the Pythagorean theorem is the friendliest way in. If you need to measure rooms or packaging, you will find what you are looking for in area and perimeter and in volume.
