Kauffman art center top view\n|-\n!\n|}\n\nTo measure hatched area in Fig. 1 Google Earth distance measurement has been used.\n\n* All measurements repeated three times and averaged to minimize the error.\n* Google Earth distance measurement tool does all measurement as level plane. This measurement is not accurate for inclined planes like roof.\n* to minimize the error angle of the roof was measured and considered in calculations (Fig. 2).\n* Top right and left red hatched area in Fig. 1 considered as triangles\n* Bottom right and left red hatched area in Fig.1 each estimated to a half circle\n\n=== Area calculation of top right and left triangles red hatched in Fig. 1 ===\n\n# top left:\n#* base= 63 m\n#* leveled length (Google Earth)= 31 m\n#* inclined length (considering 45 degree angled) = 43.84 m\n#* Top left area= (63 m)*(43.84 m)/2 = 1381 m^2\n# top right\n#* base= 45.2 m\n#* leveled length (Google Earth)= 27 m\n#* inclined length (45 degrees) = 38.18 m\n#* Top right area= (45.2 m)*(38.18 m)/2= 863 m^2\n\n=== Area calculation of bottom right and left half circles red hatched in Fig. 1 ===\n\n \n\n# bottom left\n#* diameter=30 m\n#* half circle area= (pi*15^2)/2=350 m^2\n# bottom right\n#* diameter=39 m\n#* half circle area= (pi*19.5^2)/2=597 m^2\n\n=== Total red hatched area in Fig.1 ===\n\n'''Total area= 1381 + 863 + 350 + 597 = 3191 (m^2)'''\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\" style=\"width:200px; float:right; margin:.em\"\n!
