An instrument that measures area is called a planimeter. A planimeter is a mechanical device used to calculate the area of a two-dimensional shape by tracing its outline. It works by integrating the distance traced by a point on the planimeter's arm as it moves around the shape, providing an accurate measurement of the enclosed area.
