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.

How do you calculate the square footage of a pentagon?

To calculate the square footage of a regular pentagon (where all sides and angles are equal), you can use the formula: ( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{5(5 + 2\sqrt{5})} s^2 ), where ( s ) is the length of a side. For an irregular pentagon, you can divide it into simpler shapes (like triangles) to calculate the area of each and then sum them up. Alternatively, you can use the coordinates of the vertices with the shoelace formula if the coordinates are known.
