Area of composite figure quick check
To find the area of a composite figure, you need to break it down into simpler shapes whose area you can calculate individually, then add them up.
Here is a quick check to find the area of a composite figure:
1. Identify the simpler shapes that make up the composite figure (e.g. triangles, rectangles, circles).
2. Calculate the area of each individual shape using the appropriate formula (e.g. for a triangle, the formula is area = 1/2 * base * height).
3. Add up the areas of all the individual shapes to find the total area of the composite figure.
Remember to carefully consider the dimensions of each shape and ensure that you are using the correct formula for each shape.
