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.
Finding Area of Compound Figures
Finding the area of a compound figure involves breaking down the figure into smaller, more manageable shapes and finding the area of each individual shape. The total area of the compound figure is then the sum of the areas of all the individual shapes.
