When you type math equations or conversions into the Google Search box, you will receive immediate results.
Calculator
It is possible to utilize the calculator to answer any type of math difficulty you may encounter, such as calculating the tip for a restaurant bill, creating graphs, or resolving geometry problems.
- Google.com or any other search engine will accept your equation as input. Calculator may be found by searching for:Calculator.
Calculations that you can do
- Mathematical operations, functions, and the value of physical constants. Base and representational conversions.
What is the best way to graph equations? By typing your functions into the search box, you can graph difficult equations in a short amount of time. You can see what an example equation looks like by visiting this page.
Tips
- Separate the formulae with a comma when plotting numerous functions at the same time. Zoom in and out, as well as pan across the plane, to have a better understanding of the function.
Functions you can graph
- The following types of graphs are available: trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic
- 3D graphs (for desktop browsers that support WebGL)
Error notifications should be investigated and resolved.
“This function may not be plotted correctly”
One of the following was identified by the plotting algorithm:
- There are too many asymptotes. There are too many transitions between defined and undefined sections in the code. Due to extreme volatility, there are an excessive number of points on the graph that may not accurately represent the current function value.
Try moving the pan or zoom feature to a different part of the screen.
“Cannot zoom further”
Because to numerical constraints, the pan or zoom motion cannot be performed. Try moving the pan or zoom feature to a different part of the screen.
“Cannot pan in this direction”
Because to numerical constraints, the pan or zoom motion cannot be performed. Try moving the pan or zoom feature to a different part of the screen. Calculator for geometrical calculations When you use Google Search, you may locate geometry formulae and the answers to complicated geometry questions.
Open the geometry calculator
- Look up a formula on Google, such as: circumference of a circle
- Fill in the blanks with the values you are familiar with in the “Enter value” box. The Downarrow button is located next to “Solve for,” and it may be used to compute a different value.
Shapesformulas you can use
- Supported forms include: 2 and 3 dimensional curved shapes, platonic solids, polygons, prisms, pyramids, quadrilaterals, and triangles
- Supported shapes include: Area, circumference, rule of sines and cosines, hypotenuse, perimeter, Pythagorean theorem, surface area, and volume are all examples of formulae and equations that are supported.
Examples
- What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 4cm and a height of 8cm
- What is the formula for the perimeter of a triangle
- How to find the circumference of an oblong whose volume is 524 gallons
- Calculator a=4 calc b=7 calculator c=
- A2 + b2 = c2
The calculator does not appear to be working. If the calculator does not appear when you input an equation, try the following:
- In order to ensure that your equation is something that can be calculated, Because dividing by zero does not provide a value, for example, if you search for “7*9/0,” you won’t see the calculator appear because dividing by zero does not produce a result. To see if it appears in your search results after that, try adding= to the beginning or end of your search
Unit converter
If you need to convert one measurement to another, you may do it with the unit converter. It is possible to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit or from cups to liters, for example.
- Type your conversion into the search box, or search for: unit converter in the search results.
Conversions that you can do
- Temperature, length, mass, speed, volume, area, fuel consumption, time, and digital storage are all variables to consider.

Weight to Volume Conversions – Recipes
It is difficult to obtain a precise conversion of culinary materials since the density of these substances can vary greatly based on a variety of factors such as temperature, humidity, how effectively the component is packed, and so on. Even more confusion is created by the use of phrases such as sliced, chopped, diced, crushed, minced, and so on. Due to the accuracy of weight measurements over volume measurements, it is preferable to weigh dry materials rather than volume measure them.

WHEN an ingredient list refers to “2 cups” of pasta, to what exactly does it refer? QUESTION: Although two cups of cooked pasta is plenty, the fact that it is featured on the ingredient list leads me to believe that the recipe calls for two cups of raw spaghetti. If that’s the case, how do you calculate two cups of uncooked pasta? For example, I intended to utilize vermicelli as the pasta in my dish. What is the equivalent of two cups of dry vermicelli? — Vince Romano from Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan ANSWER: When a recipe calls for 2 cups of pasta, it is most likely referring to dry pasta.
- Dry pasta is normally listed as 2 cups (or 8 ounces or 1 pound, depending on how much is needed) in the recipe if we want you to use dry pasta.
- Aside from that, if there are directions for thoroughly cooking the pasta, it signifies that dry pasta is being used.
- However, when it comes to spaghetti and vermicelli, half of a 1-pound package is equal to around 2 cups of pasta.
- Generally speaking, 8 ounces of short pasta (such as macaroni) equals around 2 cups in volume.
- What does that appear to be like?
- However, in general, 2 ounces of dry pasta, such as penne or bow tie, equals around 1/2 cup.
- It is dependent on the size once again.
According to the recipe, that circumference generates approximately 1 cup of cooked pasta.
The use of salted or unsalted water while cooking pasta is another subject that comes up frequently when people are preparing pasta.
What is the appropriate amount of salt to use?
It is advised that for every 1 pound of dried pasta, 6 quarts of water and 3 teaspoons kosher salt be used, with the salt being added after the water has reached a full boil.
The advantage is straightforward: it seasoning the pasta, which in turn enhances the taste of the meal in which it is used.
That saved pasta water will all contribute to seasoning the sauce, and because the water contains starch from the pasta, it will also assist in thickening the sauce if necessary.

Penne with Broccoli, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Dijon Cream
- Serves: 4 people / Approximately 10 minutes for preparation
- 30 minutes for the entire meal Cooking the broccoli for only 2 minutes ensures that it retains its brilliant green color and that you do not have to use another dish. 1 medium-sized clove garlic, peeled and minced 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (optional) 2 cups nonfat or standard half-and-half (optional) 8 ounces (about 2 cups) penne pasta or other short pasta of choice 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets (optional) a third cup of sliced sun-dried tomatoes 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved, to taste peppercorns that have been freshly ground Optional: 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley Prepare a big saucepan of salted water by bringing it to a boil. In the meantime, arrange the garlic in a big, heatproof serving bowl that will fit partially within the saucepan and set aside. Whisk in the half-and-half once you’ve added the mustard to the bowl. While the water is heated, set the pasta pot aside or lay it over it to keep it warm. Remove the bowl from the water as soon as it begins to boil. Cook the pasta until it is al dente according to the package guidelines, after bringing it to a boil and draining it. Add the broccoli florets and sun-dried tomatoes to the spaghetti about 2 minutes before it has finished cooking. Cook for another 2 minutes. 2 cups of the cooking water should be discarded. Drain the pasta, broccoli, and tomatoes and set them aside. Replacing the cooking water in the saucepan and turning the heat down to low is recommended. Place the heatproof dish with the mustard sauce on top of the saucepan with the remaining pasta water and heat until the mustard sauce is hot. Toss in the pasta mixture to coat it with the sauce and cook through. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the cheese to finish. Toss one more to coat, then heat through. Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of salt and a sprinkling of parsley on top of the dish to finish it off.
