10-6 Area of Irregular and Composite Figures
A composite figure is made up of simple geometric shapes, such as triangles and rectangles. You can find the area of composite and other irregular figures by separating them into non-overlapping familiar figures. The sum of the areas of these figures is the area of the entire figure. You can also estimate the area of irregular figures by using graph paper.
Holt CA Course 1
10-6 Area of Irregular and Composite FiguresTeacher Example 1: Estimating the Area of an
Irregular Figure
Estimate the area of the figure. Each square represents one square yard.
Count the number of filled or almost-filled squares: 47 squares.
Count the number of squares that are about half-full: 9 squares.
Add the number of filled squares plus ½ the number of half-filled squares:
47 + ( • 9) = 47 + 4.5 =51.51 2
The area of the figure is about 51.5 yd2.

10-6 Area of Irregular and Composite FiguresStudent Practice 1:
Estimate the area of the figure. Each square represents 1 yd2.
Count the number of filled or almost-filled squares: 11 red squares.
Count the number of squares that are about half-full: 8 green squares.
Add the number of filled squares plus ½ the number of half-filled squares:
11 + ( • 8) = 11 + 4 = 15.1 2
The area of the figure is about 15 yd .2

11 Understand the Problem
Rewrite the question as a statement.• Find the amount of tile needed to cover the
entry floor.
List the important information:• The floor of the entry is a composite figure.
• The amount of tile needed is equal to the area of the floor.
