Larger moons have enough mass to gravitationally pull themselves into a spherical shape, and smaller ones do not.
You approximate the irregular shape with many small regular figure, for example, long and thin rectangles.

The center of gravity of an irregular shape can be measured, for example by hanging the object from two different points (points of the object), then watching where the lines (from the point where it is hung up downwards) intersect.If you know details about the shape, the center of gravity can also be calculated by integration. Basically this means dividing (through calculation) the shape into small pieces, and adding up the results.
By integration, which basically means dividing the object into small pieces.
The larger satellites have sufficient gravity to pull the matter into a "rounded" shape, whereas smaller ones do not.

what does that even mean
The moons of Mars. They have an irregular shape and look similar to the asteroids in the asteroid belt. That is probably where Mars got them.

Because Phobos has an irregular shape, it is a captured asteroid. Therefore Phobos has an average diameter of 14 miles (22.2 km)

The Clouds of Magellan are known as irregular dwarf galaxies. They are relatively small and do not have a specific shape.
