Calculating Areas of Shapes

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of composite figures by breaking them down into simpler shapes with known area formulas. It covers calculations for rectangles, triangles, semicircles, and squares, emphasizing the importance of knowing the formulas for each shape. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples and concludes with a review of the key concepts.

What is a composite figure?

• A figure with no defined area

• A figure made up of two or more shapes

• A shape that cannot be decomposed

• A shape made up of only one type of shape

How do you find the area of a composite figure?

• Multiply the areas of all shapes

• Decompose the figure into known shapes and add their areas

• Subtract the areas of all shapes

• Divide the figure into equal parts
