Square
                            or rectangular area:  length times width
                          (L x W)
                          
                          
Cubic
                              area of square or rectangle:  length
                          times width times height (L x W x H)
                          
                          
Area
                                of a circle: radius (1/2 the diameter)
                              squared, times pi (3.14)
                              
                              Circumference of a circle:  diameter
                          times pi (
d*pi),
                          where pi = 3.14
                          
                          * When calculating for a round structure, remember
                          that your earthbag walls are going to be about a foot
                          in thickness.  Consequently, a structure with a
                          15 ft outer diameter will have about a 
13
                            ft inner diameter, give or take for the
                          thickness of your plaster both inside & outside. 
                          
                          
Length
                              of arc of circle:  diameter
                          times pi times angle of sector, divided by

                          360. 
                          
                          Example: Your structure is round & you're trying
                          to figure out your door. 
                          If your proposed door is 3 ft wide and your structure
                          is 10 feet in diameter, 
                          then 3 * 360 = 1080 /3.14 = 343.9 / 10 = 34 degrees. 
                          
                          You can reverse this: if diameter is 10 feet & you
                          know the angle of your sector is 30 degrees, then pi *
                          10 * 30 = 942. Divide this by 360 and you have
                          2.6 feet (the length of your arc - or, more
                          practically, the width of your dome's door or window).
