Practical Applications

Geometry and Measurement Applications

Applying Geometry with Calculators

Many geometry problems—finding area, volume, or perimeter—require multi-step calculations that a calculator can simplify.

Useful Functions

  • Square and square root keys for Pythagorean theorem
  • Pi button for circles

Why It Matters

These calculations are helpful in construction, design, and even DIY projects at home.

Examples

  • Calculating the area of a circle with radius 5 using the pi key.

  • Using the Pythagorean theorem \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) to find the length of a triangle's side.
