WHAT DOES AREA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

area

Area

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat. It is the two-dimensional analog of the length of a curve or the volume of a solid. The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares of a fixed size. In the International System of Units, the standard unit of area is the square metre, which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long. A shape with an area of three square metres would have the same area as three such squares. In mathematics, the unit square is defined to have area one, and the area of any other shape or surface is a dimensionless real number. There are several well-known formulas for the areas of simple shapes such as triangles, rectangles, and circles. Using these formulas, the area of any polygon can be found by dividing the polygon into triangles. For shapes with curved boundary, calculus is usually required to compute the area.

Definition of area in the English dictionary

The first definition of area in the dictionary is any flat, curved, or irregular expanse of a surface. Other definition of area is the extent of a two-dimensional surface enclosed within a specified boundary or geometric figure. Area is also the two-dimensional extent of the surface of a solid, or of some part thereof, esp one bounded by a closed curve.
