Shape Modes Explained
Manual Side Entry
Enter any number of sides for irregular shapes. Perfect for plots with varying boundary lengths. Add or remove sides as needed.
Rectangle
Enter length and width. Formula: P = 2 × (Length + Width). Ideal for rectangular plots, rooms, or properties.
Square
Enter one side length. Formula: P = 4 × Side. Perfect for square plots or rooms with equal sides.
Triangle
Enter three side lengths. Formula: P = a + b + c. Useful for triangular plots or land parcels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is boundary length calculated?
Boundary length (perimeter) is calculated by adding all side lengths together. For rectangles: P = 2 × (Length + Width). For squares: P = 4 × Side. For irregular shapes: P = sum of all sides.
Can I calculate irregular plot boundaries?
Yes. Use the 'Manual Side Entry' mode to enter any number of sides. The calculator will sum all entered values to give you the total boundary length.
What units are supported?
The calculator supports Meter (m), Feet (ft), Kilometer (km), Centimeter (cm), and Inch (in). All calculations maintain the selected unit throughout.
How do I add more sides?
In Manual Side Entry mode, click the '➕ Add Side' button to add additional side inputs. You can add unlimited sides for complex shapes.
Can I save my calculations?
Yes. Click 'Save to History' to store your calculation. History is saved in your browser's localStorage and can be accessed anytime.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. All calculations happen entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your measurements remain completely private.
