The formula to find the area of a composite shape depends on the specific shape of the composite figure.
For example, if the composite figure is made up of rectangles, you can find the area of each rectangle and add them together to get the total area.
If the composite figure is made up of triangles, you can find the area of each triangle and add them together to get the total area.
If the composite figure is made up of circles, you can find the area of each circle and add them together to get the total area.
In general, you will need to use the appropriate formula for each individual shape that makes up the composite figure and then add the areas together to find the total area of the composite figure.
Which formula should be used to find the area of the composite shape?
