area as quantity

Value encoded by the radius of a shape rather than by its area.

aire en tant que quantité

Valeur codée par le rayon d'une forme plutôt que par son aire.

L'aire croît comme le carré du rayon : l'écart perçu est exagéré. Voir le facteur de mensonge et le principe de l'encre proportionnelle.
