Disclaimer: These calculations are only as accurate as the information on which they are based. The area calculated for a long, very narrow triangle requires a very accurate measurement of the two short sides. These calculations are only to be used as a rough indication of the areas defined. The areas calculated for the standard geometrical shapes are based on the correct formulas. However, the area for the KIDNEY shaped bed is an approximation due to the assumptions made concerning the shape, i.e. circular endcaps, generally circular curves, etc. To get a more accurate result for this shape, the bed must be broken up into its component parts. Five components, 2 rectangles, a triangle, and 2 end segments, should give a fairly accurate representation.
