Area (the Area)

Area refers to the measurement of the size of a surface or region. It quantifies the extent of a two-dimensional space within boundaries, like the surface of a table or a piece of land. Usually expressed in units such as square meters or square feet, area helps us understand how much space an object or region occupies. To calculate it, different formulas are used depending on the shape—like length times width for rectangles or more complex formulas for circles and triangles. The concept of area is fundamental in fields like engineering, architecture, and geography.
