Measuring the Area of a Polygon
Calculate the area of a polygon.
\parea
Indicate the desired polygon. The indicated polygon may be part of a complex solid or the base of a simple solid. If you indicate a connecting edge of a simple solid, the area of each base is computed.
The area is displayed in the input line. Press Enter or the mouse button to continue.
Converting a Solid for Measuring Area and Hatching
Regular solids are comprised of two base polygons connected by edges that are not polygons. To measure the areas between the edges convert the regular solid to a complex solid using the, Converting a solid for measuring area and hatching (\sol3to9) command, (see Polygons & Solids).
