Kyle's Measurement Map

There are several diferent units of measurements. They can be English or Metric. To me the Metric system is way easier to use but in the U.S. we tend to only use English units like Inches, feet, and yards.

Even though there may not be a specific unit of measurement such as inches or meters. We are supposed to use Units. Units can be anything you are using to measure whether its using Quarters to something like notebook paper.

Area

Definition

When talking about a 2 dimentional square, the area is the space within the the square, it is simply the length times the width. Your measurments will always be squared.

Formulas

Area of a square = Length x Width

Perimeter

Definition

Perimeter is the distance around an object. In the looking at a square, the surface area is the distance of the line forming the 4 sides.

Formulas

Perimeter for a square = Length + Width + Length + Width

Volume

Definition

Volume is when you measure the amount of space an object takes up. It is 3 dimentional. Another way to look at volume is to think of water and how much water and object can can hold. Volume will always have a measurement that is cubed.

Formulas

Cube = Length x Width x Depth

Area of a circle = (Pie)(Radius)^2

Volume of a cylinder= (Pie)(Radius)^2 X Hight

The only difference from the Volume of a cylinder and a right angle cone is that you multiple the cone by 1/3

To do this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is A squared + B squared = C Squared.
