Area of Composite Figures, Triangles, Trapezoids, Rectangles, Parallelograms

To find the area of a composite figure, you must...

• divide the figure into regular shapes that have area formulas and solve for their areas. Then you must find the sum of all of the areas.

• use the formula of the shape that looks most like the composite figure.

• close your eyes and randomly type in numbers in your calculator and hope for the best.

• multiply the base by 3.14 and square the height.
