Hello,  your post's question is

        " What dimensions give this area? "


I have a counter-question:  which area do you mean ?     What is its numerical value ?


Without having this number, we can not answer your question in precise way . . .


If you decide to edit and to change your post, you may re-post it to the forum.

In this case,  PLEASE,  do not post it to me personally.

By the way,  when  I  point you on deficiencies in your post,  you should not resent.

The good style  (the only one acceptable style (!) )  is to express your  "THANKS"  to me for pointing your error/errors

or the error/errors of your professor/teacher.


Because I work  ON  YOUR  SIDE  and  FOR  YOUR  BENEFITS.


It is what I really expect.
