Another ridiculous article by WikiPedia Your section on how to define area is as vague as most of your other articles Area is easy to define It is the product of two averages Volume is not analogous to area whoever wrote this needs to look up the word analogous Volume is defined as the product of three averages It is also accurate to say that area has no extent just like a point or line Area only begins to take on understandable dimensions once a point or line is assigned extent As an example If a line is made up of 3 points of zero extent it s length is zero If it is made up of 3 points whose centers are half a unit from the circumference of a circle formed around the same then the line has length of 3 units More ridiculous articles Fundamental theorem of Calculus Proof that 0 999 1 and Infinitesimals 98 195 24 26
