<p>
            The free function length calculates the length (the sum of distances
            between consecutive points) of a geometry using the specified strategy.
            Reasons to specify a strategy include: use another coordinate system
            for calculations; construct the strategy beforehand (e.g. with the radius
            of the Earth); select a strategy when there are more than one available
            for a calculation.
