  • Question
    How do I calculate the area of an irregularly-shaped square?
    Donagan
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    A "square" is never irregularly shaped. If you're asking about an irregular quadrilateral (not a rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus or trapezoid/trapezium), there is no formula available. You would have to know some dimensions and/or angles, subdivide the quadrilateral into two or more sections of triangular or rectilinear shape, then calculate each section's area and add them together.
  • Question
    How can I find the volume of pyramid with square base and equilateral triangle?
    Donagan
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    You would need to know the length of the sides of the base and also the height of the pyramid. Then square a side to find the area of the base. Then multiply the base area by the height and divide by 3.

  • Question
    What is the area of a square with sides measuring 7.2cm?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Since the area of a square is one of the sides squared, you'd square the length of one of your sides (7.2cm), receiving 51.84 cm^2 (square centimeters) which is your answer.
