Kyle's Measurement Map
Finding an Unknown side to a right triangle?
To do this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is A squared + B squared = C Squared.
Odd Shapes
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
Area of a circle = (Pie)(Radius)^2
What we are measuring?
Volume
Cube = Length x Width x Depth
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.
Perimeter
Perimeter for a square = Length + Width + Length + Width
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.
Area
Formulas
Area of a square = Length x Width
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.
Units of Measurement
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.
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.
