Comment on Is land inclination included in area calculation?

  It works exactly the same!

  If I go over our parking lot with a 1m^2 granularity, I get 100m^2. If I go with 1cm^2 granularity, I get 110m^2 because I catch the sides of the curbs, potholes, etc.

    With the assumption that we now measure inclines of course

    I interpreted your reply to njm1314 as meaning “we don’t need to measure inclination to cheat, we can do that by simply increasing our precision”

      I see! Then I understand your response. :)

    Fractals are self-replicating while surface area or coastline of a country are inherently finite.
