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.
Multiply by 144
Multiply the length times the width.
If it is such that you cannot break it into squares, one main square with others attached. Measure each space and add them together. Measure the outside walls and get the perimeter. This will give you a figure Say a total of 48 feet. Treat that like it was the measurement of a square room. Divide that by 4, you get 12. A square room 12 feet to a side. 1 width times 1 length give you the square footage. 12x12=144. The perimeter is the same on a square room or a star if is the same length, it is going to enclose the same square footage.
The area is 8*6 = 48 square feet
You figure out the square footage, and then the size and number of boards needed.
Multiply by 144
To figure out the square footage of this odd sized room, you simply need to multiply the numbers. The answer is 2720 square feet.
For a parking lot to have 3 measurements, it must be an unusual shape. We would need more information to figure the square footage.
I use algebra to figure square footage, cubic footage, and angles when building, It is very important.

if you know the footage say its 15 feet wide and 19 long than you just multiply it and thats the SQUARE FOOTAGE of the area so that
The area is 8*6 = 48 square feet
You figure out the square footage, and then the size and number of boards needed.
You must know the total square footage of the area you need siding for. Once you know the square footage, any sales outlet can help figure the amount of siding needed. The square footage can be calculated using the length of the wall multiplied by the height of the wall.
irregular square or rectangle
The first thing you will need to do is measure the square footage of the area. Once you know the square footage figure on average $50 per sq foot.
