How to Piece Together Areas: Compound Figures with Triangles, Semicircles, and Quarter Circles
Hello, math enthusiasts! Today, we’re stepping into the exciting world of compound figures. These are shapes made up of more than one basic geometric figure, like triangles, circles, or semicircles. This approach will help us break down more complex shapes into manageable pieces and find their area.
