Exploring Perimeter and Area of Composite Figures

This video tutorial covers the concepts of perimeters and areas of composite figures, which are made up of various shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles, and semicircles. It provides examples to calculate the perimeter and area of composite figures, including an arrow-shaped figure, a combination of a triangle and semicircle, and a real-life application involving a basketball court. The tutorial emphasizes breaking down complex figures into simpler shapes to find their perimeter and area.

What shapes can make up a composite figure?
