Linear Dimensions
To enter dimensional values, enter the
largest dimension first – feet before inch-
es, inches before fractions. Enter fractions
by entering the numerator (value above
the line), pressing [/] and then the
denominator (value below the line).
Note: If no denominator is entered, the
default fraction setting is used. The exam-
ples below show how to enter linear dimen-
sions:
Dimension Keystrokes
5 ft 5 [Feet]
1/2 in 1 [ / ] 2
5 ft 1 in 5 [Feet] 1 [Inch]
5 ft 1-1/2 in 5 [Feet] 1 [Inch] 1 [ /] 2
10 yds 10 [Yds]
17.5 m 17.5 [m]
Note: Yards, meters and millimeters may
only be entered as whole values (5 yards)
or decimal values (5.5 meters), and not in
combination with feet and inches or them-
selves (5 meters, 8 millimeters). If a problem
contains such a dimension, convert the yards
(or meters) to “feet-inches” then add dimen-
sions.
