  2. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    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: [1] [2] A = s 2 (square). The formula for the area of a rectangle follows directly from the basic properties of area, and is sometimes taken as a ...

  3. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    In classical times, the second power was described in terms of the area of a square, as in the above formula. This led to the use of the term square to mean raising to the second power. The area can also be calculated using the diagonal d according to =. In terms of the circumradius R, the area of a square is

  4. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The square of an integer may also be called a square number or a perfect square. In algebra, the operation of squaring is often generalized to polynomials, other expressions, or values in systems of mathematical values other than the numbers. For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 ...

  5. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

  6. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Consider completing the square for the equation + =. Since x 2 represents the area of a square with side of length x, and bx represents the area of a rectangle with sides b and x, the process of completing the square can be viewed as visual manipulation of rectangles.

  7. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

    Heron's formula is a special case of Brahmagupta's formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral. Heron's formula and Brahmagupta's formula are both special cases of Bretschneider's formula for the area of a quadrilateral. Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the ...

  8. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The square gets sent to a rectangle circumscribing the ellipse. The ratio of the area of the circle to the square is π /4, which means the ratio of the ellipse to the rectangle is also π /4. Suppose a and b are the lengths of the major and minor axes of the ellipse. Since the area of the rectangle is ab, the area of the ellipse is π ab/4.

  9. Pick's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick's_theorem

    Farey sunburst of order 6, with 1 interior (red) and 96 boundary (green) points giving an area of 1 + ⁠ 96 / 2 ⁠ − 1 = 48 [1]. In geometry, Pick's theorem provides a formula for the area of a simple polygon with integer vertex coordinates, in terms of the number of integer points within it and on its boundary.
