Perimeter Ratio Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Perimeter Ratio (PRR):

\[ PRR = \frac{PL}{TA} \]

Where:

\(PRR\) is the Perimeter Ratio (1/in)
\(PL\) is the Total Perimeter Length (in)
\(TA\) is the Total Area (in^2)

What is Perimeter Ratio?

The Perimeter Ratio is a measure of how much perimeter length there is relative to the area. It is calculated by dividing the total perimeter length by the total area. This ratio can be useful in various applications such as determining the efficiency of shapes, analyzing geographical boundaries, and in fields like architecture and urban planning.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Perimeter Length (\(PL\)) = 40 inches
Total Area (\(TA\)) = 100 square inches

Using the formula:

\[ PRR = \frac{40}{100} = 0.4 \text{ 1/in} \]

The Perimeter Ratio is 0.4 1/in.
