Estimation and Basic
Calculation
Estimation
Estimation is an important concept for farmers. Much
of farming is unpredictable, due to weather reliance
and grain markets. Farmers try to estimate the yield of
a certain field of grain. To do this, farmers pick a plant
and count how many seeds are on the head.
It also a method of measurement and forecasting
whereby analysts or farmers predict or estimate the
potential tonnage of a particular crop.

When calculating how much irrigation water should be
given to a certain field, the size of the field must be known.
Common areas
In mathematics, you learned that areas can be
calculated and measured.
It is important to be able to measure and calculate
areas of traingle, square, reactangle, trapezoid, and
parallelogram rather than just doing an estimation.
There are agricultural farm owners who are
knowledgeable with their farm area, while others are
not.
Farm owners have lands that are regular or irregular
shape.
Majority of farm decisions depend upon the accuracy
Calculation of
Areas
Triangle
The
area of a traingle is calculated
using the formula:
Tringle = 0.5 × base × height
Squares and
Triangles
Thearea of a square and rectangle
is calculated using the formulas:
Square = side × side
Rectangle = length × width
Parallelogram
Anarea of a parallelogram is
calculated using the formula:
Parallelogram = base × height
Trapezoid
The
area of a trapezoid is
calculated using the formula:
Trapezoid
= 0.5 × (base¹ +
base²) × height
Circle
The surface area of a
circle is calculated using
the formula:
Circle = π × r²
That‘s All!!
