A damaged An-2 aircraft was discovered in the area of the river Vivi on 28 July 2011. The Vivi has its source where the southern limit of the Putorana Plateau overlaps with the Syverma Plateau . It begins at the southern end of Lake Vivi and is fast-flowing with many rapids. The Vivi flows roughly southeastwards across

Every unit of length has a corresponding unit of area, namely the area of a square with the given side length. Thus areas can be measured in square metres (m ), square centimetres (cm ), square millimetres (mm ), square kilometres (km ), square feet (ft ), square yards (yd ), square miles (mi ), and so forth. Algebraically, these units can be thought of as

480-422: A general limit at the point ( 0 , 0 ) {\displaystyle (0,0)} cannot be defined for the function.

Care is therefore required in these generalizations, because of two key differences between 1D and higher dimensional spaces: The consequence of the first difference is the difference in the definition of the limit and differentiation. Directional limits and derivatives define

The height of this parallelogram is r , and the width is half the circumference of the circle, or π r . Thus, the total area of the circle is π r : Though the dissection used in this formula is only approximate, the error becomes smaller and smaller as the circle is partitioned into more and more sectors. The limit of

In South Asia (mainly Indians), although the countries use SI units as official, many South Asians still use traditional units. Each administrative division has its own area unit, some of them have same names, but with different values. There's no official consensus about the traditional units values. Thus,

Similarly, if a cut is made along the side of a cone , the side surface can be flattened out into a sector of a circle, and the resulting area computed. The formula for the surface area of a sphere is more difficult to derive: because a sphere has nonzero Gaussian curvature , it cannot be flattened out. The formula for the surface area of

Area can be defined through the use of axioms, defining it as a function of a collection of certain plane figures to the set of real numbers. It can be proved that such a function exists. An approach to defining what is meant by "area" is through axioms . "Area" can be defined as

Eudoxus of Cnidus , also in the 5th century BCE, also found that the area of a disk is proportional to its radius squared. Subsequently, Book I of Euclid's Elements dealt with equality of areas between two-dimensional figures. The mathematician Archimedes used the tools of Euclidean geometry to show that

Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres = 6 m . This

It has been suggested that Archimedes knew the formula over two centuries earlier, and since Metrica is a collection of the mathematical knowledge available in the ancient world, it is possible that the formula predates the reference given in that work. In 300 BCE Greek mathematician Euclid proved that
