Suppose we have a=60 and B=60. I am trying to calculate this area:

when I try this:
W = ((u^2)* cot(B) + (v^2 * cot(a))/8;
I get this error:
Incorrect dimensions for raising a matrix to a power. Check that the matrix is square and the power is a scalar. To perform elementwise matrix powers,
use '.^'.
How can I use u^2 in the right way?
