1. What is the formula for finding the area of a composite figure?
The formula for finding the area of a composite figure is to break down the figure into simpler shapes, calculate the area of each individual shape, and then add them together.
2. Can a composite figure have curved edges?
Yes, a composite figure can have curved edges. In such cases, you would need to use the appropriate formulas for finding the area of the curved shapes involved.
3. How can finding the area of composite figures be useful in real-life situations?
Finding the area of composite figures can be useful in real-life situations such as when calculating the amount of paint needed to cover a mural made up of different shapes, or when determining the amount of material needed to build a structure made of multiple shapes. It also helps in calculating the cost of materials, like carpet or tiles, for covering irregularly shaped rooms or spaces.
