72-485: Hy-Vee Arena , previously known as Kemper Arena , is an indoor arena located in Kansas City, Missouri . Prior to conversion to a youth sports and community gymnasium facility, Kemper Arena was previously a 19,500-seat professional sports arena. It has hosted NCAA Final Four basketball games, professional basketball and hockey teams, professional wrestling events, the 1976 Republican National Convention , concerts, and

144-400: A definite integral : The formula for the area enclosed by an ellipse is related to the formula of a circle; for an ellipse with semi-major and semi-minor axes x and y the formula is: Most basic formulas for surface area can be obtained by cutting surfaces and flattening them out (see: developable surfaces ). For example, if the side surface of a cylinder (or any prism )

216-472: A $ 23 million expansion made significant changes to the original Jahn design—most notably a glass-enclosed east lobby. Other changes include: 2,000 more seats, upgraded lower-level seating, four restrooms, and a handicapped entrance to the arena. In 2017–18, the arena underwent a $ 29 million renovation by Foutch Architecture and Development LLC to be converted into a youth sports facility. The renovated arena features 12 mixed-use hardwood basketball courts, four on

288-461: A 145–0 loss to The University of Detroit. They finished off that season 0–3, being out scored by their opponents 262–0. For twenty years, UT football teams were moved from one stadium to another including Armory Park, Waite Bowl, the Nebraska Avenue grounds, St. John's field, Swayne Field and Libbey Stadium. Finally in 1937, The University of Toledo's football team resided in its permanent home on

360-419: A 1923 football match with favored Carnegie Tech , reporters from Pittsburgh learned that Toledo did not have a nickname. They pressed James E. Neal, a staff writer for The Campus Collegian in the press box, to come up with a nickname for his school's team. William B. Hook, a substitute guard for Toledo, grabbed a Carnegie fumble and ran 99 yards for a touchdown. While Toledo suffered a 32–12 loss, Neal labeled

432-563: A 33-game winning streak. The hall was packed with over 10,000 fans who came to see the Rockets end the Hoosiers winning streak by a very close score of 59–57. The hall has also hosted many musical acts over the years including Stevie Wonder , James Taylor , Metallica , Pearl Jam , Cher , Bush , Matchbox 20 , Elton John , Goo Goo Dolls , Sheryl Crow , Boyz II Men , Destiny's Child , Dave Matthew's Band , Barenaked Ladies , and Elvis . Recently

504-417: A corresponding unit of area, namely the area of a square with the given side length. Thus areas can be measured in square metres (m ), square centimetres (cm ), square millimetres (mm ), square kilometres (km ), square feet (ft ), square yards (yd ), square miles (mi ), and so forth. Algebraically, these units can be thought of as the squares of the corresponding length units. The SI unit of area

576-547: A mile away at nearby Bartle Hall . The last event in the arena had been a Memorial Day concert by the Village People a week earlier. Further, the collapse coupled with the 1978 collapse of the Hartford Civic Center under heavy snow prompted architects to seriously reconsider computer models used to determine the safety of arenas. The arena was one of the first major projects by influential architect Helmut Jahn who

648-600: A pointed rocket top made of papier-mâché. In the past, Rocky was run by the Student Activities office, but is now supported by the Athletics Department. Any student can try out in the spring semester to be Rocky for the following year. The mascot can be viewed at various university sponsored events including pep rallies, home and away football games, men and women's basketball games and the homecoming parade. Football at The University of Toledo started in 1917 with

720-421: A professor in 1926, where he remained until his death in 1955. Connelly loved to sing, but had never studied music. Apparently, previous fight songs were no longer in use, so he wrote the words for "U of Toledo" and sang the melody to a family friend, Bernie Jones. Jones played it on the piano and put it to music. The tune remained largely unchanged until 1975, when UT associate professor of music David Jex arranged

792-428: A rectangle with length l and width w , the formula for the area is: That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a square, the area of a square with side length s is given by the formula: The formula for the area of a rectangle follows directly from the basic properties of area, and is sometimes taken as a definition or axiom .

864-500: A sphere was first obtained by Archimedes in his work On the Sphere and Cylinder . The formula is: where r is the radius of the sphere. As with the formula for the area of a circle, any derivation of this formula inherently uses methods similar to calculus . Toledo Rockets Toledo's principal rivals are the Falcons of Bowling Green State University . The two teams play for

936-671: A trophy each year known as the Peace Pipe , a prize that originated in basketball but progressed to football in 1980. This rivalry is sometimes known as "The Battle for I-75" because the cities of Toledo and Bowling Green are located just off Interstate 75 and only 20 miles separate the two campuses. A member of the Mid-American Conference , Toledo sponsors teams in six men's and ten women's NCAA sanctioned sports. Women's rowing will be added in 2025–26. The Guardian reported in 2022 that Toledo women’s soccer coach Brad Evans

1008-488: A tune used by various universities. While driving to work, Gilbert Mohr, an amateur songwriter, heard the contest announced on the radio. Mohr began humming different tunes, and later with his wife, Jean Strout, wrote the lyrics known today as "Fair Toledo". The alma mater debuted at halftime of the Marshall-Toledo basketball game on March 2, 1959. Recently it has become a tradition for students and alumni alike to stay after

1080-638: A version removing the verse. Keeping the tune intact, the marching band's arrangement was updated in 2017 by graduate student Adam Miller. "Fair Toledo" was selected from eight entries, which were submitted in the UT Alma Mater Song Contest, sponsored jointly by the Student Senate and the Alumni Association in 1959. The competition was held to replace "Golden and the Blue," set to " Annie Lisle ,"

1152-887: A year. In the 1980s the arena became famed for its basketball tournaments including: The Kansas Jayhawks also played at least one men's basketball game a year in Kemper Arena as an outreach to its fanbase in Kansas City, the last such game being against the Toledo Rockets in the 2006–07 season; since then the Jayhawks have played one regular season game a year in the new T-Mobile Center . The Kemper Arena hosted Professional wrestling from 1984 until 2008. Promotions such as Central States Wrestling , WWE , National Wrestling Alliance , Universal Wrestling Federation , and World Championship Wrestling all held events there. On May 23, 1999,

1224-411: Is a dimensionless real number . There are several well-known formulas for the areas of simple shapes such as triangles , rectangles , and circles . Using these formulas, the area of any polygon can be found by dividing the polygon into triangles . For shapes with curved boundary, calculus is usually required to compute the area. Indeed, the problem of determining the area of plane figures

1296-447: Is approximately triangular in shape, and the sectors can be rearranged to form an approximate parallelogram. The height of this parallelogram is r , and the width is half the circumference of the circle, or π r . Thus, the total area of the circle is π r : Though the dissection used in this formula is only approximate, the error becomes smaller and smaller as the circle is partitioned into more and more sectors. The limit of

1368-418: Is cut lengthwise, the surface can be flattened out into a rectangle. Similarly, if a cut is made along the side of a cone , the side surface can be flattened out into a sector of a circle, and the resulting area computed. The formula for the surface area of a sphere is more difficult to derive: because a sphere has nonzero Gaussian curvature , it cannot be flattened out. The formula for the surface area of

1440-462: Is known as Heron's formula for the area of a triangle in terms of its sides, and a proof can be found in his book, Metrica , written around 60 CE. It has been suggested that Archimedes knew the formula over two centuries earlier, and since Metrica is a collection of the mathematical knowledge available in the ancient world, it is possible that the formula predates the reference given in that work. In 300 BCE Greek mathematician Euclid proved that

1512-506: Is one of the largest, oldest, and most visible student groups on campus. With approximately 200 members (majoring in Anthropology to Zoology) including musicians, color guard, Dancing Rockettes, and feature twirlers, the marching band is a positive source of pride and school spirit for the campus, as well as the city of Toledo. The RMB marches in a roll step style popular among various marching units (including Drum Corps. International). While

1584-431: Is related to the definition of determinants in linear algebra , and is a basic property of surfaces in differential geometry . In analysis , the area of a subset of the plane is defined using Lebesgue measure , though not every subset is measurable if one supposes the axiom of choice. In general, area in higher mathematics is seen as a special case of volume for two-dimensional regions. Area can be defined through

1656-435: Is the measure of a region 's size on a surface . The area of a plane region or plane area refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina , while surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object . Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover

1728-520: Is the ongoing host of the American Royal livestock show. It was originally named for Rufus Crosby Kemper Sr. , a member of the powerful Kemper financial clan and who donated $ 3.2 million from his estate for the arena. In 2016, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its revolutionary design by Helmut Jahn . Kemper Arena was built in 18 months in 1973–74 on

1800-754: Is the second oldest stadium in the Mid-American Conference, behind Ohio University's Peden Stadium. Over the years there have been many renovations made to the Glass Bowl, such as switching from grass to Astroturf in October 1974; building an electronic scoreboard in 1975; adding seats in 1972; again adding seats, a press tower, luxury boxes, and Larimer Athletic Complex in 1990, and switching to NeXturf, an artificial surface carefully modeled after natural grass, in July 2001. The outer wall and Blockhouses are all that remain of

1872-470: Is the square metre, which is considered an SI derived unit . Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres = 6 m . This is equivalent to 6 million square millimetres. Other useful conversions are: In non-metric units,

1944-455: The Cartesian coordinates ( x i , y i ) {\displaystyle (x_{i},y_{i})} ( i =0, 1, ..., n -1) of whose n vertices are known, the area is given by the surveyor's formula : where when i = n -1, then i +1 is expressed as modulus n and so refers to 0. The most basic area formula is the formula for the area of a rectangle . Given

2016-590: The World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) hosted the Over the Edge pay-per-view event at Kemper Arena. During the event, Owen Hart , wrestling under his Blue Blazer gimmick , was to make a superhero-like ring entrance , which would have seen him descend from the arena rafters into the ring . He was, however, released prematurely when the harness line malfunctioned, and fell more than 70 feet (21 m) into

2088-478: The hectare is still commonly used to measure land: Other uncommon metric units of area include the tetrad , the hectad , and the myriad . The acre is also commonly used to measure land areas, where An acre is approximately 40% of a hectare. On the atomic scale, area is measured in units of barns , such that: The barn is commonly used in describing the cross-sectional area of interaction in nuclear physics . In South Asia (mainly Indians), although

2160-417: The surveyor's formula for the area of any polygon with known vertex locations by Gauss in the 19th century. The development of integral calculus in the late 17th century provided tools that could subsequently be used for computing more complicated areas, such as the area of an ellipse and the surface areas of various curved three-dimensional objects. For a non-self-intersecting ( simple ) polygon,

2232-606: The 1952 UT graduate and strong university booster, John Savage, who was instrumental in the campaign to raise funds for the arena. Prior to the construction of Savage Hall, basketball games were played at the Field House, the second oldest building on campus. The inaugural men's basketball game played in Centennial Hall was against the Indiana Hoosiers , who were the national champions the year before, ranked #1 nationally, and on

Since the Arena was not in use at the time, no one was injured. The American Institute of Architects had given the building an "Honor" award in 1976 and the AIA, coincidentally, was holding its annual national conference in Kansas City half

2376-556: The 5th century BCE, Hippocrates of Chios was the first to show that the area of a disk (the region enclosed by a circle) is proportional to the square of its diameter, as part of his quadrature of the lune of Hippocrates , but did not identify the constant of proportionality . Eudoxus of Cnidus , also in the 5th century BCE, also found that the area of a disk is proportional to its radius squared. Subsequently, Book I of Euclid's Elements dealt with equality of areas between two-dimensional figures. The mathematician Archimedes used

2448-638: The Rocket's biggest rival, dating back to 1919. In 1935, UT beat the Falcons in a 63–0 blowout, and the Toledo fans went crazy causing an outbreak of riots and damage. As a result, Bowling Green removed Toledo from their athletic play list until 1947. When the Rockets resumed play against Bowling Green, the Peace Pipe was instituted as a basketball award. There allegedly used to be a ceremony involving journalistic organizations from Toledo and Bowling Green at halftime of one of

2520-418: The Rockets' stadium was on September 25, 1937. Grass had not yet been planted around the stadium and there were no walkways to the entrance. Thus, when heavy rainfall deluged the area, mud blocked the gates and the game had to be postponed until the following Monday. The Rockets went on to beat Bluffton College, 26–0. The Rockets' stadium is known as the "Glass Bowl" in recognition of Toledo's distinction of being

2592-503: The UT-BG basketball games every year. Representatives from each school's newspaper smoked a six-foot peace pipe, carved from wood, with the winning school keeping the pipe until the next season. Unfortunately in 1969, the tradition came to an abrupt end when the pipe was stolen from its resting-place in the Collegian office. The thief was never caught, nor was the pipe ever recovered. The tradition

2664-466: The area of a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle) in terms of its sides. In 1842, the German mathematicians Carl Anton Bretschneider and Karl Georg Christian von Staudt independently found a formula, known as Bretschneider's formula , for the area of any quadrilateral. The development of Cartesian coordinates by René Descartes in the 17th century allowed the development of

2736-501: The area of a triangle is half that of a parallelogram with the same base and height in his book Elements of Geometry . In 499 Aryabhata , a great mathematician - astronomer from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy , expressed the area of a triangle as one-half the base times the height in the Aryabhatiya . In the 7th century CE, Brahmagupta developed a formula, now known as Brahmagupta's formula , for

2808-417: The areas of the approximate parallelograms is exactly π r , which is the area of the circle. This argument is actually a simple application of the ideas of calculus . In ancient times, the method of exhaustion was used in a similar way to find the area of the circle, and this method is now recognized as a precursor to integral calculus . Using modern methods, the area of a circle can be computed using

The air pressure, increased by the rapidly falling roof caused some of the walls to blow out. However, the portals remained undamaged. An investigation was conducted, the issues were addressed, and the arena reopened within

3096-433: The collapse. First, the roof had been designed to gradually release rainwater to avoid overloading sewers. This caused water to pond (where water fills in as the roof sagged), adding to the weight. Second, there had been a miscalculation on the strength of the bolts on the hangers when subjected to the 70 mph (110 km/h) winds while supporting the additional rainwater weight as the roof swung back and forth. Once one of

Similarly: In addition, conversion factors include: There are several other common units for area. The are was the original unit of area in the metric system , with: Though the are has fallen out of use,

3240-520: The countries use SI units as official, many South Asians still use traditional units. Each administrative division has its own area unit, some of them have same names, but with different values. There's no official consensus about the traditional units values. Thus, the conversions between the SI units and the traditional units may have different results, depending on what reference that has been used. Some traditional South Asian units that have fixed value: In

3312-510: The dangerous stunt caused Owen's death. WWF settled the case out of court, paying US$ 18 million to his widow, children, and parents. Due to the accident and controversy surrounding the event, the Over the Edge name was retired. The event was also not released for home video viewing until the launch of the WWE Network in 2014, where an edited version of the show that displays a tribute to Hart at

The nearly windowless structure contrasts to Jahn's later signature style of providing wide-open, glass-enclosed spaces. Kemper's exterior skeleton style was to be used extensively throughout Jahn's other projects. The building cost $ 22 million and was previously owned by the city of Kansas City, Missouri. Financing came from seven sources: The arena won architectural awards in

3456-469: The glass capital of the world. The stadium was not named the "Glass Bowl" until renovations in 1946. The origin of the name dates back to 1946 and a man named Wayne Kohn, an employee of the structural engineering department of the Libbey-Owens Ford Glass Co., who suggested an annual Glass Bowl football game to be played in the Rockets' stadium. Three Toledo glass manufacturing companies developed

3528-479: The hall was renovated and renamed John F. Savage Arena. On the inaugural game the Rockets beat the University of Massachusetts in a game-winning buzzer-beater to put Toledo in the lead with a final score of 57–56. Toledo's baseball facility has a capacity of 690 spectators. Its dimensions, from left field to right field are 330 feet, 400 feet, and 330 feet. The University of Toledo Rocket Marching Band (RMB)

3600-477: The idea further and with the university sponsored a "Glass Bowl" stadium, which was a renovation of the then current stadium. The stone structures at the northeast and northwest corners of the Glass Bowl are called Blockhouses. In the past, the Blockhouses were used as a residence for the football players. The Rockets would stay in the west Blockhouse and the visitors would stay in the east Blockhouse. The Glass Bowl

3672-406: The left. If the triangle is moved to the other side of the trapezoid, then the resulting figure is a rectangle. It follows that the area of the parallelogram is the same as the area of the rectangle: However, the same parallelogram can also be cut along a diagonal into two congruent triangles, as shown in the figure to the right. It follows that the area of each triangle is half the area of

The Dancing Rockettes officially merged with The University of Toledo Rocket Marching Band on March 12, 1978. Dave Connelly, UT athletic director and baseball coach through the 1930s and 1940s, wrote "U of Toledo" in 1932. Connelly also coached football, track, and boxing. He joined the UT faculty as

4032-399: The original Glass Bowl Stadium. Formerly known as Savage Hall, John F. Savage Hall is much more than just UT's 9,000-seat basketball arena. Savage Hall is a multi-purpose building that is used for recreation, concerts and other special events, such as graduation. The arena built in 1976 was originally named Centennial Hall. The hall was renamed John F. Savage Hall on July 13, 1988, in honor of

4104-432: The other hand, if geometry is developed before arithmetic , this formula can be used to define multiplication of real numbers . Most other simple formulas for area follow from the method of dissection . This involves cutting a shape into pieces, whose areas must sum to the area of the original shape. For an example, any parallelogram can be subdivided into a trapezoid and a right triangle , as shown in figure to

After the incident, the event was halted for 15 minutes, until Vince McMahon and other WWF Corporate officials made the decision to continue the event. Criticism later arose over the WWF's decision to continue the show after the accident. In court, his widow Martha , children, and parents sued the organization , contending that poor planning of

4320-486: The sexual assault allegation allowed Evans to continue to coach girls and young women for years. Former University of Toledo assistant coach Candice Fabry had reported an alleged sexual assault by Evans to SafeSport, but SafeSport reportedly did not investigate him at the time. The sports teams of Toledo University were originally referenced as the Blue and Gold, Munies (for municipal university ), and Dwyer's Boys (after head football coach James Dwyer) prior to 1923. In

4392-479: The shape to squares of a fixed size. In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of area is the square metre (written as m ), which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long. A shape with an area of three square metres would have the same area as three such squares. In mathematics , the unit square is defined to have area one, and the area of any other shape or surface

Two different regions may have the same area (as in squaring the circle ); by synecdoche , "area" sometimes is used to refer to the region, as in a " polygonal area ". The area of a shape can be measured by comparing

4608-424: The team "Skyrockets" for their efforts against the favored team. Sportswriters noted that Hook looked more like a rocket than a skyrocket on his fumble return, as Carnegie Tech players failed to tackle him. Some stories began to reference the name "Rockets" with quotation marks. One week later, quotation marks were dropped and Toledo's nickname became the Rockets.

(The circumference is 2 π r , and the area of a triangle is half the base times the height, yielding the area π r for the disk.) Archimedes approximated

4752-585: The university's Bancroft Campus. Construction of the field, which is set in a natural bowl, began in February 1936 as a project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. The only means of construction were picks, shovels, and wheelbarrows. The original design of the stadium had a seating capacity of 11,000 fans. It now has the capacity to hold 26,248 fans! The first game in

4824-511: The use of axioms, defining it as a function of a collection of certain plane figures to the set of real numbers. It can be proved that such a function exists. An approach to defining what is meant by "area" is through axioms . "Area" can be defined as a function from a collection M of a special kinds of plane figures (termed measurable sets) to the set of real numbers, which satisfies the following properties: It can be proved that such an area function actually exists. Every unit of length has
