If you can find the perimeter, then you can find the area. Calculate the perimeter. Then times the top sides by the left and right sides (and obviously the bottom!) the there you have it. The area of an irregular shape!

Total nonsense!
The above applies only to a square or rectangle - and a square in not even an irregular shape!
There are three main methods:
Method 1: The simplest situation is one in which the irregular shape can be divided up into shapes whose areas can be calculated. For example, the outline of an ice-cream cone may be viewed as a triangle with a semi-circle on top. So calculate the areas for the bits and add them up.
Method 2: Trace the shape onto dense lamina of uniform thickness. Cut out the shape and measure its mass. Next cut out a UNIT square of the same lamina and measure its mass.
Then
Area of irregular shape = Mass of irregular lamina/Mass of lamina square.
Method 3: Trace the shape onto a sheet of paper with square gridlines on it. Count the number of whole (or almost whole) squares inside the shape = A. Count the number of squares where approximately half is inside the area = B. Ignore all squares where only a tiny bit is in the marked area.
Then,
Area of irregular shape = (A+B/2)*area of unit square in the grid.
The finer the grid, the more accurate your result, but also the harder you'll have to work.

How do you find the area of a irregular shape?
look it up in a math book
How do get the area of a shape?
You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.

How do you find area of irregular shape?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
How many different ways are there to find the area of an irregular shape?
You can name it or break it down
How do you get total area of an irregular shape?
To find the area of irregular shapes, first, we need to divide the irregular shape into regular shapes that you can recognize such as triangles, rectangles, circles, squares and so forth. Then, find the area of these individual shapes and add them to get an area of irregular shap
How do you find the perimeter and area of an irregular shape?
You break it up into smaller shapes which are less irregular. If these are more regular, you can calculate their contribution to the perimeter, and their area. You can then add these together.
To measure the area of an irregular shap find the area fo yha regular shape within it and blanck the area of the irregular shape?
Divide the area into regular shapes and find their areas then add them all up together
How find the area of an irregular heptagon?
For any irregular shape, you must divide it into shapes that are regular and find the area of those then add up all of the parts to find the area of the whole.

What calculator will find Square footage irregular shape?
I assume you mean the calculation required. Split the irregular shape up into shapes for which you can find the area (eg rectangles, triangles), then the area of the shape is the sum of the areas of the smaller shapes.
