There are different formulae for different shapes. The formulae also depend on the information available and the mathematical skills of the user. I can think of at least three for a triangle alone:
- 1/2*base*height
- 1/2*a*b*sin(C) where a and b are two sides and C is the included angle.
- sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)] where a, b and c are the three sides and s = (a+b+c)/2

Is the formula for finding the area of an oval the same as the formula for finding the area of a circle?
No because the formula for finding the area of an oval, which is an ellipse, is quite different
What is the mathematical formula for finding the radius of a circle?
To calculate this you will need the diameter of the circle. The formula is: diameter/2*pi If you don't know the diameter you can also use the area of the circle: Sqrt(Area/pi) = radius
What is the formula for finding the area of an ellipse?
the formula for finding the area of an ellipse is add it then multiply and subtract that is the final
What mathematical formula relates pressure force and area?
Pressure =Force/Area
What is the formula for the surface area of a rhomboid?
what is the formula to finding the total surface area of a rhomboid?!
How would finding the area of a square be the as finding the area of a rectangle?
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
What is the formula of finding the area of a rectangle?
base times height = area
What is the formula for finding the area of a retangle?
Area = Length x Width
What the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?
Area of a rectangle: a = l * w
What is the formula for finding the area of a paralellagram?
base times height is area
Formula for finding the area if you have radius?
Area of a circle = pi*radius2
How is the formula for finding the lateral area of a cylinder like the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?
L.A.= 2*pi*radius*height its not like finding the area of a rectangle. a cylinder is a 3-D shape and a rectangle is a flat shape
