Course: Building Trades I (17009-I) > Section: Core Construction Skills: Applying Fundamental Construction Skills

Identification should include formulas for

- calculating square footage (i.e., area) for rectangles, squares, triangles, and circles
- determining
  - perimeter
  - circumference
  - diameter
  - radius
  - volume
  - angle (i.e., slope, grade).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the formula for the hypotenuse of a triangle?
- How many degrees are in each angle of an octagon?
- What is pi, and how is it used in construction? Why is pi a crucial mathematical constant?
