Important Notes

The best known and simplest formula for calculating the area of the triangle , T=0.5*bh , where b is the length of the base of the triangle and h is the height or altitude of the triangle.
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of length of all the three sides of the triangle.
The shape of the triangle is determined by the lengths of the sides. Therefore, the area can also be derived from the lengths of the sides by using Heron's formula.
In geometry, an altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base. This line containing the opposite side is called the extended base of the altitude. The intersection of the extended base and the altitude is called the foot of the altitude.
Triangles, while more difficult to use conceptually, provide a great deal of strength. Triangular shapes are becoming increasingly prevalent as parts of buildings and as the primary shape for some types of skyscrapers as well as building materials.

Triangles

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry. In Euclidean geometry, any three points when non-collinear, determine a unique triangle and simultaneously, a unique plane (i.e. a two-dimensional Euclidean space). In other words, there is only one plane that contains that triangle and every triangle is contained in some plane.
A triangle that has two angles with the same measure also has two sides with the same length and is called as an isosceles triangle. It follows that in a triangle where all angles have the same measure, all three sides have the same length and such a triangle is called as equilateral.

Rectangles

Rectangles (Perimeter & Area)

The word rectangle comes from the Latin rectangulus, which is a combination of rectus (as an adjective, right, straight) and angulus (angle). A Rectangle is a four sided-quadrilateral having all the internal angles to be right-angled (90°). It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of . . . .

Circles

Circles (Circumference & Area)

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point, the centre; equivalently it is the curve traced out by a point that moves in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant. The distance between any point of the circle and the centre is called the radius. A circle may also be . . . .

Temperature

Temperature Converter

Temperature, measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several arbitrary scales and indicating the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow — i.e., from a hotter body (one at a higher temperature) to a colder body (one at a lower temperature). Temperature is measured with . . . .

Power

Power Converter

In physics, power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second. In older works, power is sometimes called activity. Power is a scalar quantity. The output power of a motor is the product of the torque that the motor . . . .

Mass

Mass Converter

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is . . . .

The use of units, measurements and conversions plays a big part in excelling in math. The intent of this site is to help visitors perform different varieties of calculations/conversions easily with a high degree of accuracy.

The site includes unit converters for various quantities like currency, length, speed, time, area, volume, mass, temperature, angle, pressure, energy and power. In addition to this, it provides area & volume calculations of different shapes & it's parts. The site also contains several other features like number system conversion, calculation of interests, percentages along with color code finder and many more.

History of Measurement :

The earliest recorded systems of calculations and measures originate in the 3rd or 4th millennium BC. Even the very earliest civilizations needed measurement for purposes of agriculture, construction and trade. Early standard units might only have applied to a single community or small region, with every area developing its own standards for lengths, areas, volumes and masses.

With the development of manufacturing technologies and the growing importance of trade between communities and ultimately across the Earth, standardized weights and measures became critical. Starting in the 18th century, modernized, simplified and uniform systems of weights and measures were developed, with the fundamental units defined by ever more precise methods in the science of metrology.
