Dimensional Analysis

When using formulas, you may want to use dimensional


analysis. Dimensional analysis or unit analysis is the
process of performing operations with units.
As you plan your solution method, think about
• what units were given,
• what units you need for the solution, and
• the step(s) you need to take to convert your units from
what you are given to what you will need for the solution.
