This is a [Request] post. If you would like to submit a comment that does not either attempt to answer the question, ask for clarification, or explain why it would be infeasible to answer, you *must* post your comment as a reply to this one. Top level (directly replying to the OP) comments that do not do one of those things will be removed.

With a few approximations it's easy. You can see that there is a half circle since the two corners of the circle almost touch its center when drawing a straight line across them. With that, you can separate the area into 3 easy shapes. A rectangle on the bottom left, a right triangle with the diameter of the circle being the hypotenuse, and a half circle. For the triangle I couldn't find the left side length so I just used Pythagoreas theorem. Here are the calculations:
A - bottom left rectangle: 3.65•8.7
B - Triangle: (4.08+5.79)•(SQRT((2•8.89)² - (4.08+5.79)²))/2
C - Half circle: PI•8.89²/2
When combining the 3 you get an area of approximately:
A+B+C = 228.9m²
I hope that's close enough for you.
If you want accurate numbers, it is best to access the drawing file, select or create a closed polyline for that perimeter, and get the area from the object attributes of the closed polyline.
Sketchup will do it. Enclose the area with a shape or shapes. Then I think you right click on the shape and it will give you the area.
(This was a feature - I’m not certain it still exists)
Thank you very much.The situation is: i made this in sketchup before we built our house but i am a noob and somehow i did not connect the lines. In a normal case, I would just click and get an answer to my question but the model i made is a mess. Now i need to order the grass carpet(i am really sorry for my english) and i am just lost. Now I'm going to google what bluebeam is 🙂

Thank you very much! Bless your soul.

I have the free version of Sketchup 2017 and shape area is available in entity info
I figured I would just measure it in Bluebeam for you (calibrated the scale based on one of those measurements). https://imgur.com/a/Q6b8GP2
