All lawn areas can be divided up into various common shapes. It is then easy to estimate your requirements using the following formulas from Dooralong Valley Turf

MEASURING A SQUARE / RECTANGLE


To measure the area of a square or rectangle just multiply the width (A) by the height (B).

8m x 4m = 32 square metres



MEASURING A CIRCLE

To measure the area of a circle multiply the radius (or diameter divided by 2) by itself then by 3.14.

6 x 6 x 3.14 = 113 square metres








MEASURING A TRIANGLE

To measure the area of a triangle multiply the height (A) by the base width (B) divided by 2.

4m x 2m = 8 square metres
