Percent Elongation
Original gage length = 2.0 in.
Final gage length = 2.6 in.

%Elongation = final length - original length x 100


original length

%Elongation = 2.6 - 2.0 x 100 = 30%

Percent Reduction of Area


Original area = 0.2 in.2
Final area = 0.1 in. 2
%Reduction of area (%RA) = ?
%RA = original area - final area x 100
original area

%RA = 0.2 - 0.1 x 100 = 50%
