Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Area of Composite Figures! Composite figures are shapes made by joining rectangles, triangles, or other simple shapes. To find the total area, we break them into easy pieces, find each area, and add them together. Ready to be a shape detective? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 How to Find Area of Composite Figures
- Look at the big shape and split it into rectangles or triangles you know.
- Find the area of each small shape.
- Add all the small areas together.
Break into 2 rectangles → Add their areas
🎯 Let’s Solve Composite Figures!
1. A big L-shape is made of a 10 m × 6 m rectangle and a 4 m × 5 m rectangle. What is the total area?
2. This shape is a 12 cm × 8 cm rectangle with a triangle (base 12 cm, height 5 cm) on top. What is the total area?
3. A house shape has a 20 m × 10 m rectangle and a triangle roof (base 20 m, height 6 m). What is the total area?
