Ah, bhai, in our hills, land is never flat. If we used the slant side, the area would be as misleading as a short-cut that leads you off the cliff. The true 'height' is the vertical drop—the perpendicular—because that's the honest measure of how much land you truly have underfoot. I learned this laying out foundations; a slanted measurement would have the village families quarreling over missing squares of soil!
