Area

Area is a numerical value that represents the size of a two-dimensional region. For polygons, area can be calculated using specific formulas. For irregular shapes, area can be estimated or calculated by dividing the shape into known figures.

Important properties

• Area is always non-negative.

• If two shapes do not overlap, the area of their union is the sum of their areas.

• Congruent shapes have equal areas.

• Area is measured in square units.
