LINK to textbook help for composite figures


We are currently covering composite figures. See example below for help. Homework is at the bottom of the page.

 

Composite figures: A figure (or shape) that can be divided into more than one of the basic figures is said to be a composite figure (or shape).
For example, figure ABCD is a composite figure as it consists of two basic figures.  That is, a figure is formed by a rectangle and triangle as shown below.

The area of a composite figure is calculated by dividing the composite figure into basic figures and then using the relevant area formula for each basic figure.


Example 11

Solution:
The figure can be divided into a rectangle and triangle as shown below.




So, the area of the composite figure is 222 cm2.
