What is Area ?
Simply put, Area is a measure of the size or extend of a two dimensional surface. It is expressed in square units, such as square meters (m²), square feet (ft²), or acres, depending on the system of measurement used.
How is Area Calculated?
1. Rectangle: Multiply the length by the width (Area = Length × Width).2. Circle: Use the formula π × radius² (Area = πr²).3. Triangle: Multiply the base by the height and divide by 2 (Area = 0.5 × Base × Height).4. Square: Square the length of one side (Area = Side²).4. Polygons: Polygons are subdivided into smaller parts such as triangles, and then the area of each part is added up. (Area = Sum of area of its parts.)
Systems of Units for Area Measurement
1. SI Units: The International System of Units uses square meters (m²) as the standard unit for area. It is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts.2. Imperial Units: Common in the United States and the UK, units like square feet (ft²), square yards (yd²), and acres are used for land measurement and construction.3. Metric Units: Units such as hectares (ha) and square kilometers (km²) are used for larger areas, especially in agriculture and geography.4. Historical and Regional Units: Units like bigha, kanal, and dunam are used in specific regions for traditional land measurement.NOTE: Each system has its own context of use, influenced by geography, history, and industry requirements.
