We may often define the area of any shape through the perimeter, but these two are different concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The perimeter simply traces the outer line of the shape, and the area calculates the space it holds. Hence, the area of any shape is the space that the shape encloses within its boundary or perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Finding the area of a composite shape involves calculating the area of different basic shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, what is the process of finding the area of these composite shapes, you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The simplest way is to break the shape up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Divide the composite shape into basic shapes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Find the area of every basic shape separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Now, add these areas to find the area of the composite shape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">With the help of these steps, let\u2019s look at an example for finding the area of composite shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Composite-Shape-6.png\" alt=\"Finding the area of a composite shape made up of two rectangles\" class=\"wp-image-8641\" title=\"Finding the area of a composite shape made up of two rectangles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Composite-Shape-6.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Composite-Shape-6-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In the above composite shape, we have two basic shapes, A and B, both of which are rectangles.

B is neither a 2D nor a 3D composite shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">This can be a bit confusing; you may think we can make it with 3 rectangles, but it is actually a cube with 6 identical sides.
