What is Area and Perimeter Calculator?

Area is the space inside a shape and perimeter is the distance around it. They are used in building, gardening, flooring and school geometry.

What this tool does

Four small calculators in one: a rectangle, a triangle from base and height, a triangle from three sides (Heronโ€™s formula) and a trapezoid.

How to use it

  1. Find the section for your shape.
  2. Enter its measurements.
  3. Read the area and perimeter.

Did you know?

  • Area is measured in square units, such as square metres, while perimeter is in plain units.
  • Heronโ€™s formula finds the area of a triangle without needing its height.
