What do you use to find the area of irregular figures?
You approximate your irregular figure lots of small figures of known shapes. For example, you can divide it into lots of thin vertical (or horizontal) stripes, each of which is approximately a rectangle.
How do you find an area of an unusual shape?
You divide the shape into smaller shapes you can calculate, like rectangles and triangles. If the shape is irregular, you have to approximate, for example by dividing it into many narrow rectangles. This technique is called "integration".
How do you get the square meter area of an irregular shape?
You approximate the irregular shape with many small regular figure, for example, long and thin rectangles.
How do you the area of shapes?
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.
What is area formula of an irregular hexagon?
There is no standard formula. It is necessary to partition the irregular hexagon into more convenient shapes such as triangles and quadrilaterals, find their areas and sum the results.
