AREA OF IRREGULAR SHAPES

Let us find the area of the adjoining figure.
To find the area of closed figures on the squared paper, we follow the given steps:

Step 1: Count the number of squares of unit length which are completely enclosed by the
figure. In the figure, number of complete squares, m = 55

Step 2: Count the number of squares of unit length which are more than half part enclosed
by the closed figure.

Here, number of more than half squares, n = 8.
Step 3: Count the number of those squares which are

enclosed exactly half by the figure and divide the
number by 2.

Number of half squares, p = 5.
Step 4: Ignore those squares which are not enclosed less

than half by the figure.

Step 5: Add the total squares of steps 1, 2 and 3 to obtain the area of the complete figure.
