You can find the area and perimeter of any closed region by specifying a series of points. The program calculates the area and perimeter of the space that is enclosed by an imaginary polygon consisting of straight-line segments connecting each point.
As you select each successive point, the resulting polygon is displayed on the screen.
The area and perimeter of the region you defined are displayed. For example, the following type of information is displayed:
Area = 11.0583, Perimeter = 15.3092
