How to use this tool

  1. Enter region area, area centroid distance from axis, generating curve length, curve centroid distance from axis.
  2. Use the displayed units and confirm the model assumptions.
  3. Calculate and compare the outputs against your input scenario.

Try this example

{
  "area": 12,
  "distance": 5,
  "curve": 8,
  "curveDistance": 4
}

Accuracy and scope

Axis must lie in the region plane without cutting the generating region or curve. Distances refer to separate area and curve centroids.
