In our daily life, we come across several geometric shapes. Have you ever combined two or more geometric shapes to form a new shape? For instance, have you taken two squares and joined them to form a rectangle? It must have seemed like a fun activity, wasn\u2019t it? Well, such activities involving shapes can teach us several important concepts in geometry.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Today, we shall learn more about the concept of composing shapes.

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-what-does-composing-2d-shapes-mean\">What Does Composing 2D Shapes mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Composing shapes means combining two or more simple shapes to create a larger shape. Simple shapes in geometry include triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, etc. While composing shapes, you can combine any of these shapes. You can use the same or different shapes to construct a new shape. You can even use sections of different shapes for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4
