 area
 compute the area of a triangle, square, circle, or ellipse

 Calling Sequence area(obj)

Parameters

 obj - triangle, square, circle, or ellipse.

Description

 • The routine area returns the area of the input object which is a triangle, a square, a circle, or an ellipse.
 • The command with(geometry,area) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
