Area and Perimeter
of Composite Shapes

area and perimeter of composite shapes
Description

By the end of this unit, students will:

  1. Understand the concept of composite shapes and their components.
  2. Calculate the total area of composite shapes by breaking them down into simpler shapes.
  3. Calculate the perimeter of composite shapes by adding the lengths of all sides.
  4. Apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios involving composite shapes.

Key Stage 3: Geometry and Measures

  • Derive and apply formulae to calculate and solve problems involving: the perimeter and area of triangles, parallelograms, trapezia, the volume of cuboids (including cubes), and other prisms (including cylinders)
  • Calculate and solve problems involving: perimeters of 2-D shapes (including circles), areas of circles, and composite shapes
