Question: edit
why do we select the unit square to measure the area of a polygon?
why not is other figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.222.226.19 (talk) 13:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- Square units are customary for area in all fields. —Tamfang (talk) 08:22, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- And there are only 3 regular tesselations to choose from. I'd certainly recommend the unit square for its symplicity in Cartesian coordinates. Klbrain (talk) 09:40, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
