How to measure square meter

In some countries the area of apartments and houses is considered in hundreds of square meters, and the area of personal plots – in hectares. In Russia occupying 1/6 part of the land in hundred parts it is accepted to measure the area of seasonal dachas, and habitual unit of measure of the area of housing is the square meter. And it is necessary to measure each square meter sometimes with an accuracy of square centimeter.

It is required to you

  • - construction roulette;
  • - electronic range finder.

Instruction

1. To measure the metric area (the area expressed in square meters) of the squared room multiply its length and width. Width and length of the room at the same time need to be written down in meters. If the number of meters at measurement not an integer (i.e. in measurements there are also centimeters), attribute the number of centimeters after a decimal point of a comma). So, for example, 1 meter 23 centimeters will correspond to measurement number 1.23.

2. If in the room ledges or niches from other rooms, then their metric area pays off separately and subtracted or increases to the ""rectangular"" area of the room. At the same time it is necessary to consider that it is not necessary to subtract ledges from sanitary constructions (e.g. struts) from the area as they enter its metric area – even if it public devices.

3. To measure the number of square meters in not rectangular room, divide it into rectangular sites and put the metric area of each of them. Certainly, this way approaches only when all additional corners of the room also direct.

4. At measurement of length and width of the room use a usual construction roulette or an electronic range finder. To receive more exact result, you carry out two measurements – the different ends of a wall. If results of measurements differ, then find an arithmetic average – put and halve both results of measurements.

5. When using for measurements of metric area of the room of an electronic (laser) roulette pay special attention to the direction of a beam – it has to be strictly perpendicular to a wall. Even the deviation in several degrees is capable nameryat excess square meter.

6. If the metric area of the apartment pays off with the purpose of installation of the heating system ""heat-insulated floor"" on the basis of an infrared heating film, then subtract from the received square meters the area of stationary furniture (sofas, beds, cases, walls and kitchen tables).

7. If the room has irregular shape, then break difficult sites into triangles and sectors. To count triangle metric area, measure its parties and use Heron's formula: Streugolnika = √ (r * (r-and) * (r-b) * (r-c)), where r - poluperimetr a triangle, that is r = (and +b+ c)/2, where and, b and with – lengths of its parties. For calculation of the area of the sector use a formula of the area of a circle (p Ayr a square), and then increase the received value by the number of degrees in the sector and divide into 360.
