    In Singapore the terms plot ratio and gross plot ratio (GPR) are more commonly used. In the United States and Canada, floor space ratio (FSR) and floor area ratio (FAR) are both used. [10] Use ratios are used as a measure of the density of the site being developed. High FAR indicates a dense construction.

  7. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.

  8. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    The square of n (most easily calculated when n is between 26 and 74 inclusive) is (50 − n) 2 + 100(n − 25) In other words, the square of a number is the square of its difference from fifty added to one hundred times the difference of the number and twenty five. For example, to square 62: (−12) 2 + [(62-25) × 100] = 144 + 3,700 = 3,844
