Area
Calculations: Draw your site as
accurately as possible - graph paper
works well. For odd or complex shapes,
divide the area into combinations of
rectangles, triangles, and/or circles.
Use the following formulas to determine
area:
Rectangle:
Area = length x width
Circle: Area
= 3.1416 x the square of the radius
Triangle:
Area = 1/2 x length of base x length of
height
To determine
topsoil requirements for areas of
varying grade, use a transit to indicate
exact fill requirements...or estimate an
average fill depth. Usually soil does
not have to be ordered all at once so
you can always bring in more...better
too little than too much!
