Angles, Triangles, Circles, Composite Figures

What distinguishes a composite plane figure from a simple plane figure?

• A composite figure is made up of multiple shapes

• A simple figure has only one shape

• A composite figure has a larger area

• A simple figure has a smaller perimeter

When solving contextual problems involving composite plane figures, what should be the final step?

• Subdividing the figure into known shapes

• Identifying the number of sides in the figure

• Finding the dimensions of the figure

• Calculating the area or perimeter of the entire figure

How can the area of a composite figure be calculated if the areas of the subdivisions are known?

• By dividing the areas of the subdivisions

• By multiplying the perimeters of the subdivisions

• By subtracting the areas of the subdivisions

• By adding the areas of the subdivisions

What attribute is used to determine the area of subdivisions in a composite figure?

• Area

• Perimeter

• Volume

• Circumference
