I am trying to find an equation for the area of a leaf for an ecology study. It’s a taro leaf, so it’s similar in shape to a heart curve I found, but I am stuck beyond that. I need to be able to plug in length and widths and return a value for the area. I’m attaching two pictures of the leaf, one real and one sketch. I’m also attaching a pic of the heart curve equation I found, but you’ll see it’s not quite the right shape. Can anyone please write an equation for “Area of a taro plant leaf” using this information? (And explain how you did it) Thank you!
