What is a composite figure?
What is the best way to calculate area and perimeter of composite figures?
- Using a formula
- Drawing a picture
- Guessing
- Measuring each part separately
When calculating the area and perimeter of composite figures, you can split the figure into shapes that you know the area and perimeter of, like circles, and then calculate the area and perimeter of the composite figure. The area and perimeter of a composite figure can be calculated by finding the area and perimeter of each shape and adding them together. The area and perimeter of a composite figure can be calculated without knowing the measurements of any of the individual shapes as long as the shapes are regular polygons.
