Thank you . Very neat vizualization & explanation . Also at PBS Infinite Series "Proving Pick's Theorem" video she mentioned this simple & beautiful method .
That's true! We can't list the points in any random order. But, as long as we pick a point to start and end with, and then list the points in order (either direction will work) the shoelace method is AWESOME!!!
Is there any software to calculate the area of my irregular plot (polygon) when I can measure the side-lengths and (a few necessary but not all) diagonals?
Does it always have 1/2? I mean in solving for triangle's area, it has 1/2. And this quadrilateral has 1/2. So should it really have 1/2 for any polygons?
Hi Amelia! This method works whether you list the points in clockwise or counterclockwise order (#absolutevalue). It doesn't even matter which point you pick to start from!
Bad form, Eric. Epilepsy jokes? But don't take my word for it. "I understand that they are trying to be funny, but having a seizure is not something to joke about. In fact, if your friend really is having a seizure, I can guarantee that you would be freaking out and peeing your pants rather than ignorantly laughing at your friend who is spazzing out because a bug landed on their head." ~www.theodysseyonline.com/epilepsy-is-not-ajoke

Thank you so much, I learned, I like the way you explain, it was short and simple, please record more videos ❤❤
Cheers man, I had some trouble implementing shoelace in JavaScript, but your explanation helped me out :) !!
Ask ChatGPT to write formulas for you.
Great video I really understand it now!
sharksgaming 33 good
Short and simple. Thanks!
It's important to note that the points must either be in clockwise or counterclockwise order for this to work correctly

So true!
for simplicity, I just went with clockwise for this demonstration (I mention orientation around 0:50
Great. Nice explanation.
Awesome explanation, thank you so much!
thanks for the helpful video
Awesome!!!
yayy exactly what I needed =D

Yes 1/2 is universal :D
so my math teacher said that you write down the points in a counterclockwise order... which way do I do it?

It doesn't matter if it is clockwise or counterclockwise
Thanks man
hi
Did the guy have a seizure at 2:17
