How to solve composite area problems?

Composite area problems involve finding the total area of a shape made up of multiple simple geometric figures (e.g., rectangles, triangles, circles). The key is to break down the composite shape into simpler parts, calculate the area of each part, and then combine these areas appropriately.

Here are the steps to solve composite area problems:

1. Identify the Simple Shapes: Break down the composite shape into recognizable simple shapes such as rectangles, triangles, circles, semi-circles, etc.
2. Calculate Individual Areas: Use the appropriate formulas to find the area of each simple shape.
3. Combine the Areas: Sum the areas of the simple shapes if they are additive (part of the whole), or subtract the areas if necessary (such as holes or gaps).
