How to Solve Geometric Problems using Google Search


Google continues to fulfill their mission of organizing the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful to anybody around the world. Google is a part of our daily life, you don’t know internet if you don’t use google.


With almost 50 thousand employees of google worldwide, they make sure that there’s always an innovation. And one cool feature that I noticed recently in Google search is the geometric formulas.

If you’re going to solve for area, circumference, volume, perimeter and surface area of the basic shapes you must memorize each geometric formula. Although you can find those formulas using google search, google makes it very simple and useful.

Here is how to use google search to solve your geometric problems;

Open a new browser tab and go to google.com, type into the search bar the shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, ellipse, parallelogram) + calc to reveal the formula. For example,  if you want to use the formula of a circle, just type in the google search bar “circle calc” without the quote. See the screenshot.

You may now enter the radius value of the circle in the blank provided, in this example I’ll enter 4. As you may notice google automatically calculates the area of the circle.
