Subject: Calculating areas defined by points

You can find the area and perimeter of any closed region by specifying a series of points. The program calculates the area and perimeter of the space that is enclosed by an imaginary polygon consisting of straight-line segments connecting each point.

To calculate the area defined by points you specify

1 Do one of the following to choose Area ():

• On the ribbon, choose Tools > Area (in Inquiry).

• On the menu, choose Tools > Inquiry > Area.

• On the Inquiry toolbar, click the Area tool.

• Type area and then press Enter.

2 Specify the first point.

3 Specify the second point.

4 Continue specifying points in sequence to define the perimeter of the area you want to measure.

As you select each successive point, the resulting polygon is displayed on the screen.

5 To complete the calculation, press Enter.

The area and perimeter of the region you defined are displayed. For example, the following type of information is displayed:

Area = 11.0583, Perimeter = 15.3092

Select the points (A, B, C) that form a polygon. The area and perimeter of the region are then calculated.
