The area of platts 2001-02-20
From Steve:
I have to calculate the areas of different "platts" of land from a map, and the only thing I have are the four side measures. There are some cases where no sides are parallel, no lengths the same, and no angles are given, and I was wondering how to calculate the area of such figures. I've attached a rough sketch of a typical platt's shape.
