You measure how many units will fit inside of the area. For example, if you own a plot of land and want to know the area in square feet, construct a lot of squares that are one foot square. Then put as many of those square as will fit into the plot without any overlapping or any gaps. Count the number of squares that fit into the plot.

To find the area, use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Then add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
A= 2lw+2lh+2wh
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.
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.
