If you stake out a plot of land with a steel tape measure on a hot day will you enclose more or less land than your measurements indicate?
On a hot day the steel tape measure will expand and therefore measure inaccurately. 1cm on the tape measure will maybe be 1.1 cm in actuality so when you measure out a piece of land, you will get more than you bargained for.
How do you find area without formulas?
You measure how many units will fit inside of the area. For example, if you own a plot of land and want to know the area in square feet, construct a lot of squares that are one foot square.
