What do I need to enter?
3 values: shape, dimension 1 (w / base / radius), and dimension 2 (h / height, ignored for circle). Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move.
What does the area result mean?
It is returned as a decimal number and updates live as you edit the inputs, so you can compare two or three versions of a scenario in a few seconds.
Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it's free, and no account is required. Nothing you type is stored on our servers — the maths runs entirely in your browser.
