understand things about the theorems, properties and
formulas to solve problems.

Plane Geometry – Composite Figures

Composite Figure

A composite shape or a composite


figure is a two-dimensional figure made up
of basic two-dimensional shapes such as
triangles, rectangles, circles, semi-circles,
etc.

1. Perimeter of Composite Figures

To find the perimeter of a


composite two-dimensional figure,
add the lengths of the sides.

2. Area of Composite Figures

There are two general methods for finding the area of a composite shape.

3. Additive Areas Method

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.

4. Subtractive Areas Method


Find the area of a shape larger than the composite shape and the areas of the pieces
of the larger shape not included in the composite shape. The area of the composite
shape will be the difference between the area of the larger shape and the areas of
the pieces of the larger shape not included in the composite shape.

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:

Problems:

1. The plane area shown


consists of an isosceles
trapezoid (non – parallel
sides equal) and a segment
of a circle. If the non –
parallel sides are tangent
to the segment at points A
and B, find the area of
composite figure.

Given:

Note: a is equal to w, and it is also the radius of the segment.

���� = �. ������

Using Pythagorean Theorem, we can determine the value of f.

�2 = �2 + �2
Note: consider the haft of diamond a right triangle. a, is the hypotenuse.

figure shown, if it is the
difference between two
isosceles trapezoids whose
corresponding sides are equal.

parallel sides AB and CD, each 315 ft long. If
its ends are semicircles, find the area

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.

shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it
fair and square.”– Michelle Obama.
