What is a Shape Factor?

A shape factor ratio is a measure of the length of a perimeter relative to the square root of the area that perimeter surrounds. It is used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and geometry to understand the relationship between the shape and size of an object.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SF = \frac{40}{\sqrt{100}} = 4 \]

The shape factor is 4.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SF = \frac{60}{\sqrt{225}} = 4 \]

The shape factor is 4.
