Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between area and perimeter?
Area measures the space inside a 2D shape (in square units), while perimeter measures the distance around the outside (in linear units).
What's the difference between volume and surface area?
Volume measures the space inside a 3D shape (in cubic units), while surface area measures the total area of all outer surfaces (in square units).
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator uses standard mathematical formulas and provides results accurate to several decimal places. For practical applications, round to the appropriate precision for your needs.
Why do I need to enter different measurements for different shapes?
Each shape has unique properties that require specific measurements. For example, a circle only needs a radius, while a rectangle needs both length and width.
Tip: Always use consistent units (all inches, all centimeters, etc.) for accurate results.
