Construction Project Keys
The following Construction Project Keys help you instantly figure
quantities and costs of materials, so you can build like a pro!
Block/Brick Keys ( NOT AVAILABLE ON TRIG MODEL #4080)
The Blocks function helps you quickly estimate the quantity of blocks
or bricks required for building walls, walkways or other areas.
Ç l Number of Blocks or Bricks — Calculates the total
number of concrete
blocks required to fill a given
area. Uses a standard block/mortar area of 128
square inches. This key can also be used for calcu-
lating the number of “face” or “paver” bricks by stor-
ing a brick size (see below).
ß 4 Store Block or Brick Size (Blk Area) — Used to
store a size
other than the default block size of 128
square inches (e.g., 1 2 0 i i ß 4
stores a size of 120 square inches). This value is
permanently stored until you change it or perform a
Clear All (
Ç x ). To recall the stored setting, press
® 4 .
Note: For Brick Estimates — You may also enter a brick size
using
ß 4 . For example, when building with standard “face”
bricks, enter a brick size of 21 square inches ( 2 1 i i
ß 4 ) or store a “paver” brick size of 32 square inches ( 3 2
i i ß 4 ; based on Modular U.S. brick size of 3-5/8 inch-
es x 2-1/4 inches x 7-5/8 inches, including 3/8 inch mortar = 4
inches x 2-5/8 inches x 8 inches).
Circular/Arc Function Keys
The circle key helps you quickly solve circular area, volume or arc
problems.
C Circle — Displays and calculates the following val-
ues, given an entered circle diameter* or radius:
• diameter
• circle area
• circumference
*To enter a diameter (e.g., 10 feet), press 1 0 f C .
