How to Calculate Surface Area of a Simple Shape (formulas)
| Shape | Area Formula |
|---|---|
| Rectangle | length × width |
| Triangle | ½ × base × height |
| Circle | π × radius² |
| Half Circle | ½ × π × radius² |
| Ellipse | π × radius1 × radius2 |
How to Calculate Surface Area of a Complex Shape (example)
Step 1
An example "L-shaped" kitchen countertop schematic featuring a 45° corner, rounded edge, and knockout for a sink.
Step 2
We will consider the "full" countertop and the knockout areas separately.
Step 3
The countertop and knockout sections are broken into simple geometric shapes (rectangles, triangles, half-circles, etc.)
Step 4
Areas are calculated using appropriate formulas. The areas representing the countertop are added together, then the areas for the knockout sections are subtracted. In this example, the total surface area for the finished countertop is 5,220 in², or 36.25 ft²
