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.

How do you figure the area of an odd shaped area?
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 do you find the perimeter of an odd shape?
All you do is add up all the sides to find the perimeter even though it is a odd shape
How do you find the area of a shape with a shape inside of it?
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.
How would you find the area of a shape?

How do you find the area of a random shape?
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.
How can you find a generalization for a triangle a parallelogram and a convex shape?
A parallelogram cannot be generalised to a convex shape with an odd number of sides.
How do you find the area if a shape that has uneven sides and different measurements?
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.
How do you find the area of a 2D shape?
You times the length by width, to get the area of the 2D shape.
How do you find the perimeter of units of an odd shape?
Just add up all of the sides :)
