area of composite figure

Subdecks (1)

a composite figure is a figure that is made up of two or more figures.
area of a square?
A = S(2) = side x side
area of a rectangle?
A = length x width or lw
area of a triangle?
A = base x height divided by 2
Area of a circle(2)?
A = pi squared pi - 3.14
solve this
A = S(2) A = lw
= 36 x 36 = 36 x 60
= 1296 cm(2) = 2160 cm
total area
A = 1296 + 2160 = 3456 cm(2)
step 1 on how to solve
separate
step 2 on how to solve
find out what shapes are included in the composite figure
step 3 on how to solve
multiply based on the formula of the shape
step 4 on how to solve
