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.
A regular shape such as a square or rectangle - length times width. If it is an irregular shape, fit known sized squares and triangles within the shape's border and work out area of a square and a triangle times the number of squares and triangles.

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.

The area of a parallelogram is not enough information to determine its shape.
It could be any shape - circle, oval, rectangle, square, triangle, rhombus, irregular, etc - as long as the area is 3 square feet.

That is a flat area with the sides of 1 meter times 1 meter as 1 square meter.

Without knowing the shape of the garden, it is not possible to determine the area based solely on the perimeter. The area of a garden depends on its shape, whether it is rectangular, square, circular, or irregular.
The most direct way to calculate the area of an irregular shape is to superimpose it on graph paper, and then count the number of complete squares that it covers, and for squares that are only partially covered, estimate how much of the square is covered to the nearest simple fraction (a half, a third etc.). If you want the surrounding area rather than the area of the shape itself, you could calculate the total area and then subtract the area of the shape.
