This is our De(S)sert Island
Our Paradise has got a contour: the line of the sea shore. We need to know how many kilometres of
beaches we’ve got.
To find out the perimeter, we divide the contour line into short segments. Now we measure each segment
by mean of the straightedge and sum all the segments. Those are linear kilometres.
Our island also has got a surface: the two-dimensional space we can walk about and…build skyscrapers.
To measure the area of the island, we make triangles all over, and calculate the
area of each triangle. Then sum all the areas. Those are square kilometres.
