  2. Dot planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_planimeter

    When counting dots near the boundary of the shape as 1/2, there are 69 interior dots and 20 boundary dots for an estimated area of 79, close to the actual area of 25 π ≈ 78.54. A dot planimeter is a device used in planimetrics for estimating the area of a shape, consisting of a transparent sheet containing a square grid of dots. To estimate ...

  3. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    The dot planimeter is physical device for estimating the area of shapes based on the same principle. It consists of a square grid of dots, printed on a transparent sheet; the area of a shape can be estimated as the product of the number of dots in the shape with the area of a grid square. [8]

  4. Planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

    When the measuring wheel moves parallel to its axis, the wheel skids without rolling, so this movement is ignored. That means the planimeter measures the distance that its measuring wheel travels, projected perpendicularly to the measuring wheel's axis of rotation. The area of the shape is proportional to the number of turns through which the ...

  5. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  6. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a square, the area of a square with side length s is given by the formula: [1] [2] A = s 2 (square). The formula for the area of a rectangle follows directly from the basic properties of area, and is sometimes taken as a ...

  7. Do laundry sheets actually work? Here's what a product ...

    Some brands like Clean People ask that you tear sheets in half for regular-sized loads and put the other half back into the box, but it’s still way easier than pouring and measuring.

  8. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  9. Why not all 'high-protein' food products are good for you - AOL

    Many foods marketed as 'high-protein' may not be as healthy as they claim due to their high-fat, sodium, and sugar content, shows a study from Spain.
