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.

Marine terraces found in the Gulf Coastal Lowlands include the Silver Bluff terrace, 1 to 10 feet (0.30 to 3.05 m) above mean sea level (msl), Pamlico terrace, 8 to 25 feet (2.4 to 7.6 m) above msl, Talbot terrace 25 feet (7.6 m) to 42 feet (13 m) above msl, Penholoway terrace, 42 to 72 feet (13 to 22 m) above msl, and Wicomico terrace, 70 to ...
Apothem of a hexagon Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6. The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo [1]) of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides.
