Teaching Area of Composite Figures Easily 

 

  • Break the given shape into some basic geometrical shapes. 
  • Then, find the area of every basic shape. 
  • You may finally add the value of the areas of every shape to get an appropriate result. 
  • Always represent your answer in square units. 


 

Here is an example to solve a question on the area of composite figures. Let’s look at the given example to understand more about the area of composite figures. 


 

Q. Find the area of a composite shape that is formed by adding a square and a triangle. The base and height of the triangle is 3 and 5 units respectively. Likewise, the length of the sides of a square is 5 units. 


 

Step 1: Find the area of each figure. 

So, 


 

Area of Square = 5 * 5 = 25 units. 


 

Area of triangle = ½ * b * h = ½ * 3 * 5 

½ * 3 * 5 = 7.5 units. 


 

Step 2: Add the area of both the shapes. 

So, 


 

Area of Triangle + Area of Square = 25 + 7.5 = 32.5 units square. 


 

Why should you use an area of composite figure worksheet for your students?

Surface Area And Volume

A composite shape or figure is a type of figure where various polygons are put together to form a required shape. These figures can be made by the combination of squares, quadrilaterals, triangles, and so on. A composite shape is also known as a complex shape. To determine the area of a composite shape, divide the figure in basic shapes like rectangle, square, triangle, and the rest of it.
