mathematics can take a lot of the guess work out of measuring
your turf area. Use any of the following formulas to meet
your yard design or layout. |
|
Circle
![[ Circle Area ]](/images/measurecircle.gif)
A = 3.14 x r2 |
Example:
Circle's radius (r) is 10 feet. Multiply the known 3.14
by the radius squared.
Thus:
A = 3.14 x 102
A = 3.14 x 100
A = 314 square feet |
|
Square
&
Rectangle
![[ Square/Rectangle Area ]](/images/measuresquare.gif)
A = Base x Height |
Example:
Square or Rectangle's base is 10 feet, and the Square or
Rectangle's height is 10 feet.
Thus:
A = 10 x 10
A = 100 square feet |
|
Triangle
![[ Triangle Area ]](/images/measuretriangle.gif)
A = (Base x Height)÷2 |
Example:
Triangle's base is 10 feet and the height (base to point)
is 20 feet.
Thus:
A = (10 x 20)÷2
A = 200÷2
A = 100 square feet |
|
Combination
Free-Form

Break
the free-form area down to obvious forms and calculate each
form's area. Once each form is calculated, add the areas
together to derive the total area. |
Breakdown
to Forms

Example:
- Circle
A = 3.14 x r2
- Rectangle
A = b x h
- Square
A = b x h
(As
a rule it is wise to add an additional 10% to cover estimation
and measuring error for a free form lawn)
