Area of Composite Figures Including circles

A composite figure is made up of triangles, squares, circles, rectangles, and other two-dimensional figures. A composite figure is not a standard regular shape. To find the area of a composite figure, divide it into figures with areas you know how to find. Then, find the sum of the areas of those figures.
