[@sekhar4876]

You made it look so easy. This is the most confusing formula in FE Handbook. Thanks for the trick!

[@umarshah1236]

Sir you are the great god bless you ❤

[@danw4685]

For those of you using more recent FE Handbook ver 10.3, it's on page 310 at the top.

Thank a lot I never know this method

[@rajeshmahara0222]

Sir , are these consicutive coordinates or independent coordinates? Please reply me fast

[@mezclalista5779]

If the order of the points in the closed traverse are not given, how do I asign them?!!

[@directhubfeexam]

In any consecutive order. For example, I could switch point 4 to point 1. We would get the following consecutive order: point 1 (200,50), point 2 (0,100), point 3 (350,250), and point 4 (400,150).

[@gergesmalak9344]

what is the method gives the biggest area?

[@directhubfeexam]

For earthwork calculations the prismoid method is more accurate than the average end method. So the average end method gives the biggest area.

[@morafi6685]

Will this same method work with a triangle?

[@directhubfeexam]

Yeah it should!
