You could consider the cross as two intersecting rectangles. Calculate the area of both rectangles and the area of the intersection (overlap). Then area of cross = sum of the areas of the rectangles minus the area of the overlap.
Find the areas of the rectangles and triangles. Add them together.
you just times it by two
You should break it down in to smaller shapes. Two rectangles. Then figure out all the lengths. Multiply to find the area of the two rectangles. then add the products to get the final area.
no,we can divide the figure into squares,rectangles and triangles

Some rectangles don't have equal sides.

Find the area of each rectangle (length * Breadth) and add the results together.

Some irregular shapes can be broken down into a combination of rectangles. Think of a solid "L" shape. It might be difficult to find the area of that. But if you think of it as two rectangles, it's a lot easier.
You can't. There are an infinite number of possible rectangles with a given area.
You approximate it with many small rectangles. This is known as integration.
You will need to divide the shaded area into smaller parts, such as triangles or rectangles, or find the length of sides of these polygons.
Do you mean the surface area of the box? If so... What you do is break the surface area into 6 rectangles: Two rectangles have sides of length 6.3 and 12.6 inches. Two rectangles have sides of length 6.3 and 4.2 inches. Two rectangles have sides of length 12.6 and 4.2 inches. Find the area of each of the six rectangles (using the standard formula for the area of a rectangle, A = W x H), and add up all six. The sum of the areas of the six rectangles will be the surface area of the box. Since the lengths of the sides are in inches, the area will already be in square inches, and therefore you don't have to "turn it into square inches".
