Answer:

The best estimate of the area of the irregular shape is
19.5\ units^(2)

Explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

To know an estimate of the area of the figure calculate the area of the rectangle minus the squares marked with x

so


A=(8*6)-29=19\ units^(2)

therefore

The best estimate of the area of the irregular shape is
19.5\ units^(2)
