Caveat: such basic Euclidean techniques apply if
this is relatively flat farm land. If you're
looking at surface area as an undulating manifold
or worse, then you may want some calculus. Or
just break it up into more subtriangles is what
a surveyor might do. So a first step might be to
check with county or city records if you have any
reason to think this work has already been done.
