Area calculation involves determining the area of a geometric shape. For basic shapes such as circles, triangles and rectangles there are simple formulas to determine area based on linear dimensions. (see link) When you are faced with more complex shapes a strategy for area calculation is to first divide the complex shape into a series of triangles and then calculate the sum of the areas of these smaller shapes.


Most CAD software has the built-in capability to calculate area of irregular shapes. In real estate there are established methods for calculating and allocating area to tenants for calculating rent. (see link)
