  2. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres = 6 m 2. This is equivalent to 6 million square millimetres.

  3. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    The area of a square is the product of the lengths of its sides. The perimeter of a square whose four sides have length is = and the area A is =. Since four squared equals sixteen, a four by four square has an area equal to its perimeter. That is, it is an equable shape

  4. 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.

  5. Perimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

    A perimeter is a closed path that encompasses, surrounds, or outlines either a two dimensional shape or a one-dimensional length. The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference. Calculating the perimeter has several practical applications. A calculated perimeter is the length of fence required to surround a yard or garden.

  6. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    Area enclosed by a circle = π × area of the shaded square Main article: Area of a circle As proved by Archimedes , in his Measurement of a Circle , the area enclosed by a circle is equal to that of a triangle whose base has the length of the circle's circumference and whose height equals the circle's radius, [ 11 ] which comes to π ...

  7. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  8. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    The area-equivalent radius of a 2D object is the radius of a circle with the same area as the object Cross sectional area of a trapezoidal open channel, red highlights the wetted perimeter, where water is in contact with the channel.

  9. Compactness measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compactness_measure

    Alternatively, the shape's area could be compared to that of its bounding circle, [1] [2] its convex hull, [1] [3] or its minimum bounding box. [3] Similarly, a comparison can be made between the perimeter of the shape and that of its convex hull, [3] its bounding circle, [1] or a circle having the same area. [1]
