Work out each figure separately then add them together: Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel bases)*height Area of a rectangle = length*height
You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.
The answer is simple. You don't. You must have a shape to find an area. 4.4 cm is just a line, which therefore, since it is not a shape, has no area.
An octagon is a non-rigid shape. In the same way that a square can be flexed into a rhombus and reduce the area by making the rhombus thinner, an octagon can be flexed into a shape with as small an area as you like.Its maximum area is 482.8 cm2(approx).An octagon is a non-rigid shape.

Too many dimensions have been given to work out an area which normally has only 2 dimensions.
You partition the compound shape into simpler shapes whose areas you can work out using formulae, and then add all those parts together.
There is no formula as such. You partition the compound shape into simpler shapes whose areas you can work out using formulae, and then add all those parts together.
To work out the area of a composite shape, you will have to divide it into smaller figures.
yes
That is the definition of the area of a rectangle. It does not work for any other shape.
A compound word that starts with shape could be shape up.
You need to break the shape up into different shapes. For example if you have a shape that is basically a triangle and a square merged together you will work out the squares area then the triangles area and add them together.
All you have given is a rectangle which I presume encloses the composite shape. It is impossible to give the area of the composite shape other than to say it is less than or equal to 8 sq units. To work out the area of a composite shape, split it up into areas which you can work out (eg squares and rectangles) and sum the area of all the area.
It depends on the symmetry. Work out the area of half the shape by filling the shape with squares and triangles of known areas and times the answer by two.
depends which shape - they all have different formulas to work out their area. eg. area of a triangle is 1/2base x height or 1/2ab x sin(c)
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
You simply divide the shape into triangles and work out the area of each triangle (0.5 x B x h) then add up the area of all the triangles
