Measure the outline of the leaf; the exact perimeter will vary with the size of the leaf.

The perimeter of the square is 96.
I am afraid there is no 'formula' for finding the area of a leaf, since leaves are so variable in shape.The best method depends on the accuracy required of your measurements. If you require accurate and precise results, use a scientific instrument that's specially designed to measure the area of leaves. E.g. AM300 Leaf Area MeterMy AM300 can store the image, and will analyse it to measure all sorts of useful parameters, like perimeter. I need a lightweight instrument which I can carry for hours, and it only weighs 1.8kg . Other models which are called 'portable' weigh 6.8kg!If you do not require a high degree of accuracy, you can draw around the leaf, then cut out and weigh the paper. By comparison to the weight of a known area of the same paper, you can calculate the area of the leaf. However, when using methods which involve cutting paper, you must cut around the perimeter extremely carefully. Similarly, you must be highly accurate when weighing. I am not sure that paper - even heavy paper - is heavy enough to make the relative error

Perimeter is the distance around an object. Perimeter of a square = 4x Side length Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2 x Length + 2 x Width Perimeter of a Triangle = A+B+C Perimeter of a circle = 2 pi r
Perimeter is the outside of a shape
