E. Objectives : At the end of these module, the learner should be able to:
1. Have a deeper understanding about theorems, properties,
formula relating to composite figures.
2. Solve problems relating to composite figures.
F. Contents :
Composite Figure
There are two general methods for finding the area of a composite shape.
Find the individual areas of each piece of the composite shape. The area of
the composite shape will be the sum of the individual areas.
Regardless of what method you use, you will often have to think carefully in order to
find the dimensions necessary for determining the area or perimeter.
Now, are you ready to solve problems regarding composite figures? If yes, ready
your calculator and let’s start:

Thanks for spending time for the lesson. I know you got tired while studying the
module. You are now about to dig in to the lesson more and submerge yourself into it.
Please be reminded that you only have 3 hours to complete the whole Module 4, so please
manage your time properly.
“We learn about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take
shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it
fair and square.”– Michelle Obama.
