Pumpkin Weight Calculator

The Pumpkin Weight Calculator estimates the weight of a pumpkin based on its circumference and diameter. This tool can be helpful for farmers, gardeners, or enthusiasts who want to estimate the weight of their pumpkins without the need for a scale.

Calculation Formula

The formula used for the estimation is:

\[ \text{Estimated Weight (lbs)} = \frac{\text{Circumference}^2 \times \text{Diameter}}{800} \]

Example Calculation

If a pumpkin has a circumference of 60 inches and a diameter of 20 inches, the estimated weight would be:

\[ \text{Estimated Weight} = \frac{60^2 \times 20}{800} = \frac{3600 \times 20}{800} = 90 \text{ lbs} \]

Importance and Usage

Estimating the weight of pumpkins is useful for determining the value for contests, selling at markets, or simply satisfying curiosity. This method provides a quick approximation without needing specialized equipment.
