Help with finding the area of a irregular shape

[toolenthusiast]

That is why I used vellum which is very consistent. Lot to lot and sheet to sheet variation were removed by plotting the reference square on the same page with the area of interest. A lot of nay-saying on this. I'm through defending it. It got me an answer in my case. I just pointed it out because it was a different, and I thought, interesting way to solve the riddle. The greater interest seems to be in shooting it down.

I need to stay away from the Post Reply button. I have the right to remain silent, but not the ability.

Your solution was indeed elegant.

It took me three years to get out of algebra. No one properly explained that "X" = "roll of sod".

All those previous years where you couldn't add apples and oranges, then on day it was OK? WTF?

And then seriously, no one explained that "X" was a place holder not a real set in stone thing, like plus, minus and equals are. I really could not think outside that box...

Obviously you need to place into a volume of water and measure the displacement, of course using your gram scale!

Lets start doing math with school buses to make it easy. If you have 95 kids to transit, and each bus holds 25 kids, how many buses do you need.
