Question

suggest a way to obtain a better approximation of the area of your palm
​

Answer 1

This is quite simple:

★ Apply ink to your palm.

★ Place your palm on a sheet so as to get an imprint.

★ Now, using a ruler and a pencil try to divide the imprint of your palm into Squares, rectangles, triangles and circles covering most of the area of your palm's imprint.

★ Measure the dimensions of the figures drawn to cover your palm's impression.

★ Use the formulae of square, rectangle, triangle and circle respectively to find the area of each figure you'd drawn.

★ Finally, add all the areas you got to have the most approximate area of your palm!
