How to Use the Geometry Calculator for Different Shapes
What is Geometry Calculator?
A geometry calculator is an online tool that helps quickly compute area, perimeter, surface area, or volume for common shapes like triangles, rectangles, circles, cubes, and spheres. Simply select any common shape and enter the required values.
This calculator instantly applies the correct formula, clearly displays steps, and provides accurate answers. It's designed to save time, reduce mistakes, and help you understand geometric concepts visually.
Formula Behind Geometry Calculator
Each geometric shape uses a standard formula. For example, area of a rectangle is length × width; area of a triangle is (base × height)/2; circle area is π × radius²; cube volume is side³, and so on. The calculator detects your selected shape and applies the exact formula with your input values, showing calculations step by step.
Geometry Conversion Table
| Shape & Input | Step-by-Step Output |
|---|---|
| Square, side = 4 cm | Area = 4 × 4 = 16 cm², Perimeter = 4 × 4 = 16 cm |
| Rectangle, l = 5 cm, w = 2 cm | Area = 5 × 2 = 10 cm², Perimeter = 2 × (5+2) = 14 cm |
| Triangle, base = 6 cm, height = 3 cm | Area = (6×3)/2 = 9 cm² |
| Circle, radius = 7 cm | Area = 3.14 × 7² = 153.86 cm², Circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 7 = 43.98 cm |
| Cube, side = 3 cm | Surface Area = 6×3² = 54 cm², Volume = 3³ = 27 cm³ |
| Sphere, radius = 2 cm | Area = 4 × 3.14 × 2² = 50.27 cm², Volume = (4/3) × 3.14 × 2³ = 33.51 cm³ |
Steps to Use Geometry Calculator
- Choose the shape from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the values as required (for example: side, length, radius, etc.).
- Click "Calculate" to get area, perimeter, or volume with step-by-step solutions.
