Whos good at working out areas?

[Speedy1959]

Hi you Brain boxes..

I have to work out the m2 of the floor area in a store room at work..
The "Powers that be" wish to know..
Can any of you lot do the maths to work out the area please?
I know its not bike related (That's why its in the "off topic" section)..

Any help appreciated

Now where is Andre ??

The area is 51.63 m2

For the formula to work 2 opposite angles have to be known. I used GIMP to get the angles and plugged the data in an online calculator. https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1322718508 See attached screen shots as well.

In this particular case where one angle is a right angle, draw a line from the bottom right corner to the top of the 1.47 length. This creates two triangles. It's easy to work out the area of the bottom triangle.
1/2*1.47*11.13 = 8.181

The area of the new upper triangle can be worked out using Heron's formula.

The unknown length uses Pythgoras Theorem to work it out.
Sqrt(1.47*1.47+11.13*11.13)= 11.226
Put 11.226, 9.84, 9.3 into the Heron Formula =43.456
Therefore total area = 43.456 + 8.181 = 51.637

Which agrees with Andre.

After using numerous equations and formula I reckon its a big area

Was that the Big Room Equation,  Notty?

Blime Monarchjock
I am very impressed.
Thank you for your efforts
Brilliant mate.

Thanks to you as well Andre.
Sorry I looked at the forum on my phone and without glasses so I missed your response initially. Sorry.

Thanks for your efforts.

Was that the Big Room Equation,  Notty? 

A-B = the square on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the Giraffe and Elephant squared minus your age
divide by the size of your bike !

That's cheating Notty, you only know that cause Mrs Notty was a teacher & I bet she told you.

The angle of the dangle x the heat of the meat = the mass of the ass ?

Just drew the shape/angles etc on CAD & mine came out at 52.426 sq m    Different again.

I don't think there is enough info in the original post unless you confirm the angle of the bottom left hand corner is 90 degrees.

Shaky hand/mouse syndrome or you did not account for the windowsill

Seriously, any will be more than fine. I doubt the "powers to be" want to know the square micrometer.

Oooh I wonder if she "disciplins" him ??

I bet he does get a clip round the ear from time to time.
