So "area" has no precise definition in Euclidean geometry. See [here](http://academic.brcc.edu/ryanl/modules/geometry/area/area_axioms.pdf). | [Jordan Measure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_measure) defines a notion of area that works for "classical geometry". I am sure that Archimedes would have been quite happy with it once he'd understood our modern obsession for Cartesian coordinate systems. |
