Square footage of an irregular shape:

• Break up the space into regular shapes (e.g., squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles.)
• Determine the area of each shape.
• Add the areas of each shape to come up with an approximate area of the bed.

                                            length

                                                                                           radius

      area of A + area of B + area of C = total area (approx.)
