Best Answer

Any shape based on circles will use pi. eg - circumference/ area of cirlcles/ half circles etc

Surface area/ volume of cylinders, spheres, hemispheres, cones, truncated cones

"donut" shapes etc

How are area and perimeter and volume related?

They are characteristics of geometric shapes. However, there is no simple relationship. A rectangle with a given perimeter can have a whole range of areas.


How do you calculate volume of a square?

You do not. As two-dimensional shapes geometric squares have area and no volume whatsoever.


How do you calculate the perimeter with known volume?

You need more information. There are many shapes which could hold the same volume, but have different (is it perimeter of the base, maybe?).


What is the area and perimeter of a cylinder?

There is no perimeter of a circle. Only flat shapes have perimeters. You can however, find the circumference, surface area, and volume.


What is a mensuration?

Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures such as length, area, volume, and angles. It involves calculating and determining the dimensions of shapes and objects using mathematical formulas and principles.


What is the realationaship between a sphere and cylinder?

They are both 3D shapes and use pi in calculating area or volume


What are the three dimensional geometric shapes?

3 dimensional geometrical shapes have surface area and volume some of which are: pyramid, cone, cylinder, cuboid, sphere ... etc


Why do engineers use calculus?

There are lots of applications of calculus; for example: calculating maxima and minima, analyzing the shape of curves, calculating acceleration when you know the velocity, calculating velocity when you know the acceleration; calculating the area of figures; calculating the volume of 3D shapes; etc.


What geometric objects occupies two deminsions?

Two dimensional shapes have only surface area such as polygons whereas three dimensional shapes have surface area and volume such as polyhedrons.


What is the formula for calculating cc?

The formula to find the volume of a object or container in cc (cubic centimeters) depends on its shape. Different formulae are used for spherical, triangular, rectangular, cylindrical, etc. shapes. There is no formula for finding the volume of irregular shapes.


Formula for calculating volume of truncated hollow cone?

A hollow truncated cone is a geometric shape that is cone-shaped. The formula to calculate the volume is s^2=h^2 + (R-r)^2.


How do you measure capacity of a tank?

The answer depends on whether or not the tank has a geometric shape. If it has a shape that can be broken up into simply geometric shapes, each with a volume formula, you can calculate the volume of each section and add them together. Obviously that will not work with a random shape. In that case, you can fill the tank to capacity and then empty it out into measuring jars or flasks. Use the volume of the jars to calculate the volume of the tank.
