    This document provides examples for finding the area of complex shapes by breaking them into simpler geometric shapes. The first example treats a "T" shaped region as two rectangles and calculates area by adding the individual areas. The second treats two overlapping rectangles as a large rectangle minus a smaller inside rectangle. The third treats a region missing a square as a full rectangle minus the square area. All examples demonstrate calculating complex shape area by decomposing into basic shapes.

    FIND THE AREA OF COMPLEX SHAPES

    EXAMPLES

    Directions: Find the area of the shaded region.

    1. Imagine shape as two separate rectangles that for


    a T.

    2. Find the area of the top rectangle.


    11 x 4 = 44
    3. Find the area of the bottom section (square).
    5 x 5 = 25
    4. Add the areas of the two sections.
    44 + 25 = 69 cm2

    1. Find the area of the large rectangle.


    11 x 8 = 88
    2. Find the area of the smaller (inside) rectangle.
    9 x 6 = 54
    3. Subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from
    the area of the large rectangle.
    88 54 = 34 in2

    1. Imagine the large area as a whole rectangle.

    2. Find the area of the large rectangle.


    12 x 8 = 96
    3. Imagine the missing space as a square. Find the
    area of the square.
    4 x 4 = 16
    4. Subtract the area of the square from the area of
    the large rectangle.
    96 16 = 80 cm2
