Copy from one page to an other shows different behavior of sys P



I know that eval will doctor (hello Jean :-) to the same result.
but why is eval necessary in the second case und how can I see if eval is necessary?

Something in there does not cut the mustard.

Not same α° between the two documents !
Again: too specific rectangular construction of polygon.
They are constructed from vertices coordinates.
That was exemplified few days ago [Area, Perimeter, Centroid]
Arc length on Engineering curve is partial perimeter,
it goes in triplet [A,P,C].

The other conceptual pitfall is your rotation.
rot(,) *[2*2] is commutative for only [2*2] systems [square/rectangle...]
The universal code for XY longer than [2*2] ... XY*rot(,)
If you don't follow this rule, Mathcad red, Smath error ...

From there, you can compute [Area, Perimeter, Centroid]
as per the "Maths Polygon" previously posted.
As well for the native [full/reduced by list]
as for the rotated of any angle.
read NOT commutative

Difference between two calculation occurs because of numeric and symbolic optimization.
Just right click and select Optimization>Numeric for the copied formula in sys2.sm file
This false flag happens a lot. Nothing is wrong here. As usual, the culprit is optimization.

Many thanks to hit the nuke of my question
and many thanks to Jean for pointing out problems which I do not see in my limited perspective.
