GCSE Maths - How to find the Area of Compound Shapes #106

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of complex shapes by dividing them into simpler shapes like rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapeziums. It provides two examples: one involving a rectangle and a triangle, and another involving a rectangle and a trapezium. The tutorial emphasizes using known formulas for these simple shapes to calculate the total area of the compound shape.

How do you determine the height of a triangle when given the total height of a compound shape?

Describe the steps to find the area of a trapezium.
