Area of Composite Shapes

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. Formula: Area = Length × Width.

The area of a triangle is found using the formula: Area = 1/2 × Base × Height.

A composite shape is a figure that is made up of two or more simple shapes, such as rectangles, triangles, and circles.

To calculate the area of a composite shape, find the area of each simple shape and then sum them up.

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula: Area = π × Radius².

Area = Length × Width = 10 m × 5 m = 50 m².

Area = Side × Side = 4 cm × 4 cm = 16 cm².

To find the area of a shaded region, calculate the area of the entire shape and subtract the area of the unshaded part.

Area = 1/2 × Base × Height = 1/2 × 6 cm × 3 cm = 9 cm².

Calculate the area of the rectangle and the triangle separately, then add the two areas together.
