Land area calculation
Calculating areas of irregular polygons is a non-trivial task without sophisticated surveying instruments. One way to calculate areas of such plots, is to break them into a number of triangular-shaped plots as in image shown below and then find the area of each triangle using Heron's formula and sum them up.
As illustrated in the figure, a four-sided plot will have two triangular plots (a-d-e and b-c-e). A five-sided plot will have three triangular plots (a-e-f, b-g-f and c-d-g) and so on.
If you have the measurements, you can proceed with the calculation by entering the side lengths of each triangular division of the lot (Note: Use the same unit e.g., m, ft, yd for all the sides).
