Hey there!
Obtaining the area or perimeter is the easiest and basic skills in geometry, however, when combining several plane figures, composite shapes are formed, which can include: squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, etc.
To obtain the area or perimeter of this type of figures should analyze the figure and follow these steps:
STEP I
♦ Must identify which figures form the total.
STEP II
♦ Analyze if there are parts of the figures that you will not need, for example the sides that join two or more figures.
STEP III
♦ Obtain separately the areas and perimeters of each figure
STEP IV
♦Add the obtained in each figure.
Hope it helps you!
