Shape Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Shape Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

SF = \frac{LC + WC}{TC}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

SF = \frac{6.45m + 8.32m}{4.3m}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

SF = \frac{6.45 + 8.32}{4.3}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

SF = 3.43488372093023

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

SF = 3.4349
