Trying to find the area of a rectangle, a triangle, a circle, or a parallelogram? There are specific formulas to use to calculate the area of these shapes. But the given shape is not any of these. It's a composite shape, which means it is made of of a combination of other shapes. So to find the area of a composite shape, a couple of different formulas may need to be used. Check out this video and see how that's done.
