There are many ways to find the area of an odd shape. Usually, you have to break the shape down into shapes that you can calculate the area of, and then add the areas of all of those individual shapes to get the area of the entire odd shape.
Example:

There is no way to find the area of this figure, so you have to break it down into two, easy to find shapes.

You can see that there is a rectangle and a triangle. You can easily find the area of a rectangle with L X W, and a triangle with 1/2(b)(h). Since it is impossible to find the area of that irregular quadrilateral in one equation, you have to split it into two known shapes (the rectangle and triangle), find the area of each, and then add the areas together to get the area of the entire piece.
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.
All you do is add up all the sides to find the perimeter even though it is a odd shape
To find the area of an odd-shaped figure, you can divide the shape into simpler geometric shapes (like rectangles, triangles, and circles), calculate the area of each, and then sum them up. For the perimeter, measure the length of each outer edge of the shape and add those lengths together. If the shape is irregular, you can also use grid paper or a digital tool to approximate these measurements. Alternatively, for more complex shapes, calculus methods like integration may be used to find both area and perimeter.
You would find the area of the inside and outside shape (pretending that the inside shape was not in the outside shape). then, you would take the area of the outside shape and subtract the area of the inside shape.

A parallelogram cannot be generalised to a convex shape with an odd number of sides.
Just add up all of the sides :)

Such as? If you can break the shape up into triangles you can find the area that way. Or, you can get into calculus-based equations if you have an equation for the random shape.
Fill in the blanks so that the shape makes a square and find the area of that. Then find the area of the shape you added. When you have both areas, subtract the greater from the smaller.
