area of composite figure quick check answers
1. To find the area of a composite figure made up of separate shapes, you can break the figure down into its individual shapes, find the area of each shape, and then add the areas together.
2. For example, if a composite figure is made up of a rectangle and a triangle, you would find the area of the rectangle by multiplying its length by its width, and find the area of the triangle by using the formula A = 1/2 * base * height. Finally, add the two areas together to find the total area of the composite figure.
