Understanding the Area of Composite Figures

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of composite figures by breaking them into simpler shapes. It covers three examples: a hexagon with a rectangle and parallelogram, a figure solved using both addition and subtraction methods, and a figure with three parts including triangles. The tutorial demonstrates step-by-step calculations and different approaches to find the area of complex shapes.
