How to Find the Area of a Composite Figure

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a composite figure, specifically Carmen's living room floor, by dividing it into two rectangles. The instructor demonstrates how to calculate the area of each rectangle using given dimensions and then adds the areas to find the total area of the living room. The process involves understanding composite figures, dividing the figure into simpler shapes, and performing basic arithmetic operations to find the solution.
