Geometry Calculator

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Geometry Calculator

Step 1: Selection of Shape

Start by selecting the type of shape you wish to calculate. You can choose from the following options:

• Circle
• Rectangle
• Triangle
• Square

Use the dropdown menu labeled ‘Select Shape’ to make your selection. This step is crucial as it determines the input fields you need to fill out next.

Step 2: Enter Measurements

Based on the shape you selected, enter the required measurements. Refer below for the fields you need to fill out for each shape:

• For a Circle, enter the value of the Radius. This value should be a positive number, and it can be to a precision of up to two decimal places.
• For a Rectangle, fill in both the Length and Width.
• For a Triangle, provide the Base and the Height. Additionally, enter the Side if you wish to calculate the perimeter assuming an equilateral or equal-length sided triangle.
• For a Square, enter the Side length.

Please ensure all numerical inputs meet the validation criteria by being positive and to three decimal places of precision, if necessary.

Step 3: View Results

Once all necessary input fields are completed, you can view the calculated results:

• Area: The calculator will compute and display the area of the selected shape, formatted to two decimal places followed by ‘m²’.
• Perimeter: The perimeter of the shape will also be calculated for circles, rectangles, triangles, and squares. This too will appear to two decimal places followed by ‘m’.
• Diagonal: If applicable, the diagonal of the shape will be calculated and displayed. This is relevant for rectangles (using the Pythagorean theorem) and squares (calculated as side multiplied by square root of two).

These results are automatically calculated following the input of your shape measurements, using internal calculation logic appropriate to each shape as outlined in the JSON configuration.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can efficiently determine various geometric properties of common shapes using this Geometry Calculator. Ensure that all inputs are precise as this will affect the accuracy of the calculated results displayed.
