There are various different ways for various different shapes but all require some information on the shape e.g. its name, the length of one or more sides or the size of one or more of its angles.

How do you work out the area of an irregular rhombus type shape?
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 work out and area of the measurements 3cm 5cm 4cm?
You cannot, because you have no information on the shape: is it a 2-d triangle or a 3-d cuboid?
How do you work out total area of a room?
If the room is rectangular, multiply the the lengths of the walls. If the shape is not rectangular, you will need to break it up into rectangles or squares. Draw it out on paper and break it up into smaller parts whose area you can find.
What is the area and type of shape that has vertices of 0 0 and 3 4 and 6 0 on the Cartesian plane showing work?
Vertices or points: (0, 0) (3, 4) and (6,0) Type of shape: an isosceles triangle Base: 6 units Height: 4 units Area: 0.5*6*4 = 12 square units
What calculator will find the square footage of an irregular shape?
SketchAndCalc, added to related links below. Performing such a calculation manually is indeed complex and time consuming. SketchAndCalc is an online Perimeter and Area calculator that allows the user to draw any regular or irregular shape with their cursor. The area and perimeter results are displayed when the shape is closed. The scale can be adjusted to accommodate very large areas such as the floor plan of a building, or the square meters area of a kitchen work surface or smaller. Using your cursor, draw the shape of any object. Line lengths are displayed below each line to ensure measurements are true. And they can be adjusted after the shape is complete. The area and perimeter results are then displayed. It has been compiled as an Adobe Flash component so the user may need to install the Adobe Flash browser plug-in. In addition, the tool offers a Sharing feature which allows the user to save the calculation as an URL to paste into an email or blog, and allow users to collaborate on the drawing as many times as they wish. This tool is currently free to use.
How do you work out the area of a composite shape?
To work out the area of a composite shape, you will have to divide it into smaller figures.
How do you work out an area of a shape do you times?
yes
Why does length x width work for finding area?
That is the definition of the area of a rectangle. It does not work for any other shape.
In maths what is the area of a composite shape?
You need to break the shape up into different shapes. For example if you have a shape that is basically a triangle and a square merged together you will work out the squares area then the triangles area and add them together.
What is the area of a composite shape if the base is 4 and the height is 2?
All you have given is a rectangle which I presume encloses the composite shape. It is impossible to give the area of the composite shape other than to say it is less than or equal to 8 sq units. To work out the area of a composite shape, split it up into areas which you can work out (eg squares and rectangles) and sum the area of all the area.
How do you solve area for symmetric figures?
It depends on the symmetry. Work out the area of half the shape by filling the shape with squares and triangles of known areas and times the answer by two.
What is the total area of a shape?
depends which shape - they all have different formulas to work out their area. eg. area of a triangle is 1/2base x height or 1/2ab x sin(c)
How do you work out the area of an irregular rhombus type shape?
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 area of a 5 sided shape?
You simply divide the shape into triangles and work out the area of each triangle (0.5 x B x h) then add up the area of all the triangles
How do you work out the area of acompound shape?
Break-up the shape into sub-areas which are easily calculable. Then sum those areas together.
How do you work the height out with the area and the base is given?
If the shape in question is a triangle, then Area = 0.5 * Base * Height So Height = 2 * Area / Base
How do you work out perimeter and area?
It is different for each shape. A perimeter is the distance around an object and the area is the square units it takes up.
