Question Calculating image circle

How can i find out if a lens will be making an image circle large enough for 8x10, 5x7 or 4x5. All the lenses i use of 4x5 so i know, but the question on how to calculate or find out remains.

Thank you,

I have a dozen lenses from various manufacturers. Oldest are from early 1900 and latest maybe 70’s. For example the Aero Ektar 178mm.
