Properties of a section defined by co-ordinates

[lima_daniel]

Hello, everyone! I started to use mathcad a few days ago and I'm trying to define the properties(area, moment of inertia, product of inertia, etc) of a section defined by 2 (n x 1) vectors. There's an attached picture. Sorry if this is too basic 😞

I believe similar questions have been posted in the past.  Try searching this forum.

I did a quick search for "area of polygon" and came up with this example: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Questions/Iregular-polygon-area/m-p/102334

There may be better examples out there, though.
