Question

Why graph paper is used for measuring the area of an irregular object

Answer 1

Because you can't get the actual dimensions as the object has no definite sides or faces

Answer 2

Measurement of the area of the irregular object becomes easier when we use graph paper.

• In graph paper, we have small square boxes of 1mm
• We can keep an irregular object over the graph paper.
• Then let's count the number of the small boxes within the image.
• The number of small boxes multiplied by the area of the small boxes gives the area of the irregular object.
• If the thickness of the object is known, even volume can be calculated.
• This is indeed an effective method.
