Finding the Surface Area of a Complex Shape Using Multiplication

This lesson teaches how to find the area of complex shapes using multiplication. It begins with a review of rectangle properties, emphasizing equal and parallel sides. The lesson then explains how to find missing measurements using known values. It demonstrates calculating area by drawing rows and columns and introduces multiplication as a more efficient method. The lesson concludes by separating complex shapes into simple ones, calculating their areas, and summing them to find the total area.
