Step-by-step explanation:
a. the area of a two-dimensional composite figure
In this situation, we need to draw any necessary segments to view the figure as basic shapes, then:
- Step 1: add basic shape areas belonging to the composite shape
- Step 2: subtract basic shape areas NOT belonging to the composite shape
b. the surface area of a three-dimensional composite figure
As we know (3D) composite objects are made of two or more objects put together. To find the surface area of a 3D composite object, we need:
- Step 1: find the outside surface area of each object
- Step 2: add the surface areas together
Hope it will find you well
