The video tutorial explains how to find the area of composite figures, which are irregular 2D shapes made up of basic shapes like rectangles, triangles, semi-circles, and trapezoids. The process involves identifying the basic shapes, using their area formulas, and summing the areas. Several examples are provided, each demonstrating the calculation of composite figures using different combinations of shapes.

What is a composite figure?

• A figure that cannot be divided into simpler shapes

• A figure made up of multiple 3D shapes

• A figure made up of multiple 2D shapes

• A figure made up of one basic shape
