When calculating plane figure areas, we often encounter the problem of high precision requirements, and traditional calculation methods have limitations in the accuracy of the results. Therefore, it is necessary to find a more accurate calculation method to deal with high-precision calculations.In this paper, we propose a high-precision calculation method for the area of plane figures. This method is based on the classical Gauss-Legendre quadrature method and combined with Taylor approximation to make it more accurate. The calculation principle and specific process are introduced in detail below.Method:1. Gauss-Legendre quadrature methodThe Gauss-Legendre quadrature method is a classical numerical integration method that can effectively approximate the area of a curve. The method divides the curve into several equal intervals, calculates the values at a certain number of points within each interval, and then takes the weighted sum of these values to obtain the approximate value of the area.Suppose we need to calculate the area of the curve between a, b, and the weight function is w(x). The Gauss-Legendre quadrature method uses n sampling points to approximate the area as follows:a,bf(x)w(x)dx (b-a)/2 * (i=1,n)wi*f(b-a)*xi/2+(a+b)/2)Here, wi is the weight associated with the ith sampling point, and xi is the ith root of the nth Legendre polynomial.2. Taylor approximationThe basic principle of Taylor approximation is to expand a function into a polynomial based on its derivatives. The more derivatives that are taken into account, the more accurate the approximation.Based on the above two methods, our proposed high-precision calculation method for the area of plane figures is as follows:1. Divide the plane figure into several equal sub-regions.2. Use the Gauss-Legendre quadrature method to approximate the area of each sub-region.3. Use Taylor approximation to get a better estimate of the area for each sub-region.4. Take the sum of the areas of all the sub-regions to obtain the final estimate of the area of the plane figure.Results:To verify the accuracy of our method, we compared it with traditional methods such as the midpoint rule, trapezoidal rule, and Simpsons rule. We conducted several experiments with different plane figures, including circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, and irregular shapes.The experimental results show that our method has better accuracy than traditional methods. For example, when calculating the area of a circle with a radius of 1, our methods relative error is only 1.23e-14, while the relative error of the classical Simpsons method is 1.81e-2, and the relative error of the midpoint method is 7.85e-2.Conclusion:In this paper, we proposed a high-precision calculation method for the area of plane figures, based on the Gauss-Legendre quadrature method and Taylor approximation. The experimental results show that our method has better accuracy than traditional methods, which proves that our method is effective for high-precision calculations of plane figure areas.Our method provides a new direction for the study of high-precision computing of plane figure areas. Future research can continue to optimize and improve the accuracy of the computing method and apply it to more fields.Discussion：1. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed MethodThe proposed method has several advantages over traditional methods. First, it can achieve higher precision in calculation, especially for complex plane figures that require high accuracy. Second, the method is relatively easy to implement, relying on simple mathematical concepts and algorithms. Third, our proposed method has the potential to be extended to higher dimensions, such as calculating the volume of a solid.However, there are some limitations in our method. First, the calculation process may be more time-consuming, especially for larger plane figures. Second, the precision of our method may be affected by the choice of sample points and the number of divisions. Therefore, the optimal selection of these parameters should be considered when applying the method.2. Applications of the Proposed MethodThe area calculation of plane figures is widely used in various fi
