Dimension {\displaystyle {\mates.[4] For shapes with curved boundary, calculus is
usually required to compute the area. Indeed, the problem of determining the area
of plane figures was a major motivation for the historical development of calculus.
[5]
For a solid shape such as a or cylinder, the area of its boundary surface is
called the surface area.[1][6][7] Formulas for the surface areas of simple shapes
were computed by the ancient Greeks, but computing the surface arerea is related to
the definition of determinants in linear algebra, ane is defined using Lebesgue
measure,[9] though not every subset is measurable.ons.[1]
Non-metric units
In non-metric units, the conversion between two square units is the square of the
conversion between the corresponding length units.
