The Scalene Triangle Volume Calculator - Imperial helps you calculate the concrete volume required for a slab shaped like a scalene triangle. This calculator uses three side lengths (Side A, Side B, Side C) and a specified depth to determine the area, perimeter, and volume in cubic feet, cubic yards, and cubic metres.
one cubic foot (ft³)= 0.037037037037037 cubic yards (yd³) one cubic foot (ft³) = 0.028316846592 cubic metres (m³)
Side A = 5 feet Side B = 6 feet Side C = 7 feet Depth = 8 inches
Calculate the Semi-Perimeter:
s = (A + B + C) / 2
s = (5 + 6 + 7) ÷ 2 = 9
s is the semi-perimeter.
Area = s * (s - A) * (s - B) * (s - C)
where:
A, B, and C are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
Area = √9 * (9 - 5) * (9 - 6) * (9 - 7) Area = √9 * 4 * 3 * 2 Area = √216 = 14.6969 square feet
Perimeter = A + B + C
Perimeter = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 feet
The volume V of concrete is the area multiplied by the depth (converted to feet):
V = A * depth in feet
Convert depth from inches to feet:
Depth (feet) = 8 ÷ 12 = 0.66666 feet 14.6969 * 0.66666 = 9.7979 cubic feet 9.7979 * 0.037037037037037 = 0.3628 cubic yards 9.7979 * 0.028316846592 = 0.2774 cubic metres
Area: 14.7 square feet Perimeter: 18 feet Volume: 9.8 cubic feet Cubic Yards: 0.36 cubic yards Cubic Meters: 0.2775 cubic meters
This tool simplifies estimating the concrete volume needed for scalene triangle slabs in construction projects. Accurate input values will ensure reliable results for planning and material estimation.
