what is the formula for solving a composite figure or how do you solve it
To find the area of a composite figure, you first need to break it down into simpler shapes (such as rectangles, triangles, circles, etc.) and then find the area of each individual shape. Once you have the areas of the simpler shapes, you can add them together to find the total area of the composite figure.
Here is how you can solve for the area of a composite figure:
1. Break down the composite figure into simpler shapes
2. Find the area of each individual shape using the appropriate formulas (e.g. area of a rectangle = length x width, area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height, etc.)
3. Add up the areas of all the individual shapes to find the total area of the composite figure
Remember to double-check your calculations and units to ensure you have the correct answer.
