Am I too late with my sixpeneth??

It's how all the original OS maps were done. That's why the country is littered with trig points.If you can't measure one of the angles measure one of the diagonals.
Easiest way is to convert everything into triangles, it's how much of the original Ordinance Survey was done.
If all the sides were curved, to the point where that perimeter were actually a circle, then the area would be 8.4ha.View attachment 539284
perimeter adds up - so if its this shape then it's this big...
So why the feck are all fields square? They'd be much bigger if they were round!If all the sides were curved, to the point where that perimeter were actually a circle, then the area would be 8.4ha.
That's why the population has grown so much since the world was flat.So why the feck are all fields square? They'd be much bigger if they were round!
You mean to say it isn't flat?That's why the population has grown so much since the world was flat.
Just boss farmers bit.You mean to say it isn't flat?

Even if you decided to keep the fields the same size, you'd end up with a lot less headland and hedge to maintain!So why the feck are all fields square? They'd be much bigger if they were round!
I cant get on rpa at the moment and its slow and useless the google one is easy and bang on as have measured other fileds i know and its spot on, i find all government web sites crap do others ?@Hilly on the RPW website we can click on interactive map then click on the field to get it's area to show up. If it's not your field you have to draw a line around the perimiter to show the area. Surely you can do this where you are too?
Exactly. If you "squashed" it one way or the other it would be much smallerYou still can't calculate the area of an irregular quadrilateral with just the external measurements and without an internal angle. Mathematically it can't be done. The perimeter length of an irregular shape does not determine its internal area.
