How to find out the area of composite shapes

A composite figure is formed with various simple geometric figures like triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, and semicircles.

To determine the area of a composite figure, break up the figure into cleaner shapes whose area can be set up. Then add the areas simultaneously.
