A transect is a slice or path through the environment. It may be any dimension from a few inches to an entire region. To "take a transect" one would use sampling methods such as the Dissect and Quadrat. The entire transect does not have to be analyzed, only typical portions of it. For example, in sampling urbanism to write a design/zoning code, the analysts identify the rural-to-urban transect of a given town or neighborhood, note the distinct habitat zones along the transect, and sample the built elements in typical portions of each habitat. This is done by measurement and identifying types visually, both on the ground and from aerial mapping. The "DNA" of the community may then be written into a code for the future. The technique originated in the ecological and biological sciences, as they sample the many elements that co-exist in a habitat or series of habitats. Both the urban and natural versions of transect analysis help identify the individual elements necessary to make that habitat healthy and sustainable for its human residents and plant/animal residents respectively.

Does the area of a circle depend on the radius?
Yes. To get the area, you take the radius, square it, and multiply that by Pi, so it is the only variable and does affect the circle's area.
How do you find the radius of a circle from the area?
Area = π*r2 radius = √(area/π) [the square root of (area divided by π)] you have to do the division first before you take the square root of that result
How do you work out what the square meter of an area is?
If it is a quadrilateral, you take the length times the width.
Definition of surface area?
It is the area of the exposed surface. So if you take a cube, the surface area is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 faces. They are all the same in the case of a cube. In general, add up the surface area of each exposed surface and this is the total surface area.
What are the side lengths of a square if it's area is 81m2?
9 metres. Squares have 4 equal sides, so in order to find the side length when given the area, you take the square root of the area.
What does a line transect look like?
a line transect looks like a few lines and dots used to mark a certain area.
Sentence with transect?

What is a method used to correlate the distribution of plant species with an abiotic factor?
A transect can be used when the habitats and populations of an area show transitions in variation. A transect is laid down. The plant species present along the transect is recorded along with the abiotic factors of the environment.
What is a beach transect?

What is an antonym of transect?
There are no true anonyms for transect. It's definition is: Cut across or make a transverse section in. A synonym is intersect. The word parallel could be seen as an antonym.
Is a transect a square or a line?
A transect is a path along which one records and counts occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants noting each instance). So yes, it it is a line.
What is the purpose of the transect?
It means cut crossways.
