The difference between an irregular and regular is that a regular shape is the normal form of a hexagon or pentagon etc. A regular hexagon would have six sides all the same length and all the angles would be the same. An irregular shape is a shape in a different form of the normal form. Example, A irregular hexagon would still have six sides but the lengths may be different and the angles also may be different.

Regular shapes:all sides and angles are the same Irregular shapes: different angle and sides
A regular polygon has all its angles and equal and all its sides equal. Irregular poygons do not. Some people consider only convex shapes meeting these criteria as being regular polygons while others include "star" shapes.
To find the area of irregular shapes, first, we need to divide the irregular shape into regular shapes that you can recognize such as triangles, rectangles, circles, squares and so forth. Then, find the area of these individual shapes and add them to get an area of irregular shap
All regular shapes have a line of symmetry. But you can get rid of its line of symmetry by making it irregular (so the angles aren't the same).
For any irregular shape, you must divide it into shapes that are regular and find the area of those then add up all of the parts to find the area of the whole.
