Study Notes
Composite Figures
A composite figure is a geometric shape composed of two or more simpler shapes.
Characteristics
- Composed of multiple shapes
- Each shape can be a polygon, circle, or other geometric figure
- Shapes can be overlapping or non-overlapping
- Can be 2D or 3D figures
Types of Composite Figures
- Rectangles with cutouts
- Triangles with holes
- Polygons with missing sides
- Composite 3D shapes (e.g., a cube with a cylindrical hole)
Perimeter and Area of Composite Figures
- Perimeter: Add the perimeters of each individual shape
- Area: Add the areas of each individual shape
- Subtract the area of overlapping regions (if applicable)
Real-World Applications
- Architecture: designing buildings with complex shapes
- Engineering: designing machines with composite parts
- Art: creating complex shapes using simple shapes
Important Concepts
- Decomposition: breaking down a composite figure into simpler shapes
- Composition: combining simpler shapes to form a composite figure
- Spatial reasoning: visualizing and understanding the relationships between shapes
Learn about composite figures, their characteristics, types, and how to calculate perimeter and area. Apply your knowledge to real-world applications and improve your spatial reasoning skills.
