The length is calculated by a number of factors. The most basic example is as follows. Say a bar is required to be u shaped. It is to be placed in a 12" wide block. The bar bend would be the length of the block (12") minus a clearance on each side of the block. This clearance allows protection to the bar from weather and moisture. Typically the clear dimension is 2" or 3", depending on location in structure and engineer's specifications. That said, assuming a 2" clearance, the above example would be 12" - 2" - 2" = 8". That dimension is the out to out dimension of the rebar for that side of the bend.

the bend length is triple time divided and four time added with your lucky number whatever it is and subtract with your mobile number AND then multiply with zero and finally we get the total length of bend

You have to find a chart that will indicate the weight per unit of measure for the appropriate rebar size. Than take that and multiply it by the the length of the rebar. For example, a #4 rebar weighs 0.668 lbs/ft. If you have 5 @ 20-00 pieces that is 0.668 X 20 X 5 = 67 lbs. Charts are available throughout the web or at CRSI.org.
To estimate the amount of rebar, a set of structural drawings are required. Once you have this information you will review the plans locating the sizes, spacings, configurations and locations of the rebar required. Each of these are reviewed in conjunction with the overall scope of the project. Using a means of tabulation, either via computer or paper, you roughly calculate and list each item. Then the tabulation can be utilized to calculate the weight and totals of the material to be used.
it would depend entirely on the rebar design.....
